The Detroit Tigers have released plans for Opening Day at Comerica Park, and one big announcement is that Jack White will perform the National Anthem .

Gates will open for Opening Day at 10:30 a.m., according to the Tigers. The team will take on the White Sox. The first 10,000 fans there will score a 2022 magnet schedule.

The Tigers will introduce players, coaches and support staff around 12:40 p.m. The game starts at 1:10 p.m.

At the game, the Tigers will honor the late Kimera Bartee, the team's 2021 first-base coach. His son, Amari, will throw out the first pitch. The team will also honor the Taylor North Little League team, which won the Little League World Series.

White will perform the National Anthem. There will also be a flyover from four A-10 Thunderbolt "Warthog" aircrafts from the 107th Fighter Squadron at Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
