Since Opening Day is practically a holiday in Metro Detroit, Wayne County Circuit Court officials are giving a break to those slated to appear for jury duty Friday.

Due to the “inconvenience of parking” as thousands flood downtown, jurors set to report at Frank Murphy Hall of Justice now have been rescheduled to appear Monday, the court said in a statement.

Jurors who were supposed to report to the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center on Friday will be notified of a new date by mail, officials said.
