Wallside Windows wants to make sure baseball fans have a safe ride home from opening day festivities in Detroit. The window manufacturer will once again provide a half off "Safe Ride With Wallside" for fans to use the rideshare service Lyft to get home safely on Thursday, March 29, 2018.

"At Wallside Windows, we love the Tigers," said Chief of Staff Adam Blanck. "We want to make sure everyone who celebrates our team gets home safely on Opening Day." Fans departing Comerica Park will be able to enter a promo code in the Lyft app before requesting a ride. Wallside Windows will pay for half the cost of their ride home.

Wallside will cover half the total cost of Lyft rides up to $30. "Lyft is proud to provide a responsible ride whenever you need one and we're thrilled to partner with Wallside to make this an option for fans on opening day," said Elliot Darvick, Lyft's General Manager for Detroit.
