ziplock Posted November 30, 2005 Report Posted November 30, 2005 Any thoughts on what to do or where any pre-game activity is planned? I know that the NIU people are talking about Hockeytown. Any of you guys have any alternatives where Zip fans can gather? Quote

ziplock Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Posted November 30, 2005 There may be a few porta-johns were you all can congregate before the Zips get a beat down! Go Zippers Enjoy the game sitting on Water street in Can't my friend. Quote
Ryno aka Menace Posted November 30, 2005 Report Posted November 30, 2005 A guy I work with says that hockeytown is a pretty cool bar to go hang out at!! Check it out! Quote
Zipsrifle Posted November 30, 2005 Report Posted November 30, 2005 I plan on hitting Hockeytown. Don't know what time I'll arrive, but if I have my way, it'll be around 3:00. The Wings are in town and the game starts at 7:30, so I wouldn't be there too late. Hope to see some fellow Zips there. Quote
MACReport Posted November 30, 2005 Report Posted November 30, 2005 Hey Folks --- As a Detroiter, here are my suggestions for pregame hangouts: Hockeytown Cafe - 10 minutes from Ford Field Detroit Beer Company - less than five minutes from Ford Field Elwood Bar & Grill - right next to Ford Field Quote

I would like to hit the Microbrewery before the game but I'm taking the hotel shuttle to Ford Field. Thanks. Quote
GP1 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Posted November 30, 2005 There are some bars at Greektown that are good and have good food. It isn't really Greektown, it's more like "Greek Street". You can safely walk to the stadium from Greektown. Quote

If you go to the Elwood, get there early...its usually jam-packed but is a great place to drink. Quote

msopher Posted December 1, 2005 Report Posted December 1, 2005 Zips fans, Parking for $5 is available next to Comerica Park in a underground parking deck. I don't the name of the street but it is right next to Comerica. I think in most spots it is at least $10-15 higher to park. Quote
Zip Watcher Posted December 1, 2005 Report Posted December 1, 2005 See everyone at the Beer Co. On the way in a little bit. Quote
