Tigers fans can bring home the magic of baseball thanks to a new collection of jewelry from Rebel Nell made from material sourced from the team’s home dugout.

“The Dugout Collection,” produced in collaboration with the Detroit Tigers, includes items such as tie bars, cufflinks, earrings, necklaces and wine stoppers. Every item is made of materials that have seen two World Series, one All-Star Game and countless concerts and events, ensuring a bit of history in each piece. Proceeds from this collection benefit the Detroit Tigers Foundation, an affiliate of Ilitch Charities.

“We are excited to partner with the Detroit Tigers on this special collection to preserve a piece of baseball history and to bring a part of the game to the incredible fans of our iconic baseball team. The collection will support the Detroit Tigers Foundation and also create jobs for many women in Detroit through our mission at Rebel Nell,” said Amy Peterson, founder of Rebel Nell.

Rebel Nell began in 2013 with the mission to employ women facing barriers to employment in Detroit, educate them on financial management, life wellness and entrepreneurship, and empower them to transition to a life of independence. The brand previously partnered with the Detroit Red Wings Foundation for “The Joe Collection,” a limited line of hand-made pieces created from paint fragments outside historic Joe Louis Arena.

The collection goes on sale Saturday, Aug. 1 at RebelNell.com and at Rebel Nell’s retail store in Detroit. For store hours and more information, visit RebelNell.com.

Following the Ilitch family’s extensive 1987-’88 restoration of the famed Fox Theatre to its former glory, a tradition developed: each performer signs the backstage wall. From musical legends to headlining comedians, leading politicians and beyond, the Fox Theatre’s Signature Wall speaks to the rich legacy of the city and celebrated venue.

A masterpiece of theater design by architect C. Howard Crane, Detroit’s Fox Theatre has enthralled and entertained audiences since opening in 1928. At that time, the venue was designed to showcase a variety of entertainment, from Vaudeville to films with sound (“talkies”), chorus lines to Fox Movietone newsreels. Still one of the largest theaters in the world, the venue has shifted to showcase contemporary live concerts to suit the changing tastes of American audiences.

With $12.5 million and more than a year put into the project, the restored Fox was unveiled with a grand reopening on Nov. 19, 1988. A benefit show, “Curtains Up at the Fox,” featured performances by the Count Basie Orchestra (who first played at the venue in the 1930s), Harry Blackstone Jr., Hall & Oates, Smokey Robinson and Dave Coulier.

The theater’s renovation brought renewed interest from audiences and performers alike as big-name acts worldwide flocked to the stage. Artists who played the Fox in the late-1980s included Stevie Wonder, Gregg Allman, the B-52s, Chicago, Willie Nelson, Lou Reed and Cher. B.B. King was a consistent performer at the venue, appearing at least 20 times between the 1980s and 2000s, often with Bobby “Blue” Bland.

The Fox Theatre’s Signature Wall is riddled with signatures of musicians, actors, dancers, businesspeople and other celebrities. Expansive and crowded, it is a rich document of the theater’s remarkable history.

“Taking visitors on tours through the Signature Wall space and watching their surprised and amazed reactions is truly enriching,” says Sandy Richmond, General Manager of the Fox Theatre. “Where else can you view signatures of Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole, Smokey Robinson — all within a few feet? How about Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and the moderators from two national debates? And then in the center, there’s Sammy Davis Jr., Liza Minnelli, and the very first signatory, Frank Sinatra,with Paul Simon using the ‘S’ in Sinatra to sign his name.”

Detroit’s Fox Theatre, consistently ranked among the best in the world, is a crown jewel of the city’s arts and entertainment heritage and will continue to entertain audiences for decades to come.

With advanced safety practices in place on reopened Olympia Development jobsites, construction continues apace in The District Detroit. With a focus on delivering affordable housing, historic preservation and sustained economic opportunity for Detroiters, the unique portfolio of projects are projected to collectively create more than 4,000 local construction and construction-related jobs and 4,300 local permanent jobs.

Meet some of the Detroiters who are making it all happen:

The Detroit Tigers, in conjunction with Major League Baseball, have announced their revised 60-game schedule for the 2020 regular season. The schedule includes 40 games against rivals from the American League Central Division and 20 interleague contests against National League Central opponents.

Detroit will begin the 2020 season on Friday, July 24, when the club visits the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. Following the three games in Cincinnati, the Tigers open the home portion of their schedule on Monday, July 27 against Kansas City. The season-opening, nine-game homestand includes four games vs. Kansas City (July 27-30), three games vs. Cincinnati (July 31-Aug. 2) and a pair vs. St. Louis (Aug. 3-4).

Detroit will have road interleague contests against the Cardinals (Aug. 5-6), Pittsburgh Pirates (Aug. 7-9) and Brewers (Sept. 1-2).

Exclusive partnership with global sportsbook — the first for a Major League Baseball team — primed to bring new energy and excitement at Tigers games

The Detroit Tigers have entered into a multi-year partnership with PointsBet, a premier global sportsbook operator. The agreement, which will begin with the upcoming 2020 Tigers season, seeks to enhance fan engagement and game-day excitement in and around Comerica Park with access to unique experiences, content, promotions and more.

This partnership marks the first for any Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise following Michigan’s legalization of sports betting in 2019.

“We are thrilled to welcome PointsBet as a gaming partner of the Detroit Tigers,” said Chris Granger, Group President, Sports & Entertainment, Ilitch Holdings, Inc. “Our incredible fans will love the unique experiences and innovative offerings that PointsBet’s personalized platform provides. We look forward to the fan-friendly enhancements this will bring to the game-day experience in and around Comerica Park for years to come.”

Originally founded in Australia, PointsBet made its U.S. debut in January 2019. It features an easy-to-use app, providing bettors with fast and seamless access to the most markets for wagering in the world, powered by its proprietary technology. PointsBet is the only U.S. provider of the revolutionary PointsBetting product, which rewards players with more money the more correct their wagers are.

As part of the multi-year deal, PointsBet will have television broadcast-visible branding at Comerica Park and will be featured on the Detroit Tigers Radio Network. PointsBet will also have a sponsored presence on the Tigers’ digital platforms and be regularly featured on The Word on Woodward, a twice-weekly fan-favorite live streaming show that airs on the club’s channel. PointsBet will also be integrated into The District Detroit app and the MLB Ballpark app.

The Detroit Tigers resumed camp Friday, July 3, as pitchers and catchers reported for workouts in Detroit. Check out the photos from the Tigers’ first day of Summer Camp in the gallery below.

The Detroit Tigers have agreed to terms with four undrafted free agents:

• Trevin Esquerra, 1B, Loyola Marymount University.
• Carson King, RHP, College of Central Florida.
• Austin Langworthy, OF, University of Florida.
• DJ Poteet, OF, Wake Forest University.

Esquerra, 22, joins the Tigers following a four-year career at Loyola Marymount University. Prior to the 2020 MLB Draft, Baseball America ranked him No. 7 among eligible college first baseman, and recently No. 8 on the list of college seniors in the undrafted free agent pool.

King, 20, split his college career between Florida Southern College and the College of Central Florida. He finished his collegiate career with the Patriots, appearing in four games during this shortened 2020 season.

Langworthy, 22, was a four-year starter at the University of Florida, totaling 198 games as a Gator. Prior to the 2020 MLB Draft, Langworthy ranked No. 13 on Perfect Game’s list of top seniors in the class, and recently ranked No. 15 on Baseball America’s list of college seniors in the undrafted free agent pool. He was previously drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 31st round of the 2016 MLB Draft.

Playing three summers with Falmouth in the Cape Cod League, Langworthy earned an all-star nod in 2018. That home run total ranked tied for second in the league for the season.

Poteet, 22, played three seasons at Wake Forest University, and was on pace to top many of his career highs during his pandemic-shortened junior season. Following a solid freshman campaign, in which he was tied for the team-high with nine homers, he was named a freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball and ranked No. 43 on Perfect Game’s list of top college sophomores heading into 2019.

In 2019, Poteet played for Amsterdam in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League. Following his 2018 summer league season, Perfect Game ranked him as the eighth-best prospect in the Cal Ripken League.

The four undrafted free agents join first-overall pick Spencer Torkelson, with whom the Tigers recently agreed to terms, as well as their other five selections from the 2020 draft: Daniel Cabrera (Louisiana State University), Trei Cruz (Rice University), Dillon Dingler (Ohio State University), Colt Keith (Biloxi HS (MS)), and Gage Workman (Arizona State University).
