Comerica Park

By Edward de la Fuente

Our guide to Comerica Park in Detroit includes information on events, tickets, parking, public transportation, nearby hotels and restaurants, seating, bag policy and more. Read on to find out how to get the most out of your gameday experience.

Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers, occupies a prime spot in the city’s sports scene — it stands just off Woodward Avenue, a major thoroughfare downtown, and right next to Ford Field , home of the NFL’s Lions.

Its large dimensions, wide layout and luxurious exterior complete with tiger sculptures at several entrance gates, make it sort of the anti-Tiger Stadium. While its predecessor was, in its later years, a creaky but beloved old structure, Comerica Park took a while to establish itself in the hearts of Detroit sports fans.

It surely didn’t help that the Detroit Tigers were terrible in the early 2000s, the formative years of the stadium, but two American League pennants and frequent playoff contention for a good decade afterward made the ballpark a more happening place to be.

Besides, Comerica may not have the rich history that Tiger Stadium possessed just yet, but it’s got plenty worth seeing on its own. And it’s an easy place to get to, right in the heart of everything Detroit has to offer. Just the view beyond the outfield fence would suggest that.

Getting to the ballpark

Though there is a side street and a row of parking lots in between, Comerica Park’s address is on Woodward Avenue, which cuts through the heart of downtown heading southeast toward the Detroit River. Just a block away is Interstate 75, aka the Fisher Freeway, which most drivers into downtown will wind up on at some point in their journeys.

Most downtown Detroit hotels are located between the river and Comerica Park. On a warm summer evening, Woodward Avenue presents an opportunity for one of the nicest walks that you could have in Detroit, with plenty going on throughout downtown.

Walking not your thing? OK, Detroit has an automated tram system called the People Mover that runs in a continuous loop through downtown and stops at most places of interest. The closest station to Comerica Park is Grand Circus Park, though there are a few other stations (namely, Cadillac Center and Greektown) within reasonable walking distance as well.

There’s also the Q-Line Streetcar , which runs up and down Woodward Avenue and stops a block from the ballpark at Grand Circus. Either method is good for a quick ride if you’re trying to get from a downtown hotel to Comerica Park.

Parking at Comerica Park

For a downtown venue, Comerica Park has a  surprising amount of parking available, with several lots and structures surrounding the ballpark — most prominently the twin garages that stand across Montcalm Street to the north.

Numerous other private lots are available on nearby blocks, particularly around District Detroit, the area on the other side of the freeway that includes Little Caesars Arena .

There’s even ample street parking depending on the day and time. Washington Street, which radiates southward from Grand Circus Park, is a particularly popular spot for free-parking seekers because of its large median that allows for parallel parking on both sides of the street, in each direction.

Parking spots would be in high demand regardless of whether a Tigers game was being played at Comerica Park, so it you’re really looking for a bargain, get there early.

Map of the surrounding area

Things to do around the ballpark.

If you do choose to make that walk up Woodward Avenue, the noteworthy things you will pass between the river and Comerica Park include the famous Joe Louis fist monument; two parks, Campus Martius and Grand Circus; the city’s two most famous eateries dedicated to the coney dog, American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island ; numerous other shops and restaurants; and the historic Fox Theatre.

Eventually, you’ll see Comerica Park off to the right, across a parking lot, when you hit Grand Circus Park.

Because Comerica Park and Ford Field stand right next to each other, it makes sense that a lot of the surrounding restaurants would have a sports-fan atmosphere.

More popular options for eats and drinks lie on Woodward Avenue or in the nearby Greektown district, where many Tigers fans (and fans of Detroit’s other sports teams) can be found partaking in general merriment at one of numerous establishments.

Brush Street, which cuts through Greektown before passing between Comerica Park and Ford Field, is another street worth walking to find places to eat, drink or otherwise pass the time, and a few downtown hotels are located along this route.

Watching a game at Comerica Park

With all the stone tiger statues around, you might think you’re entering a palace — and in truth, Comerica Park does a good job conveying the palatial feel.

Once you’re inside, take a stroll around the main concourse, which the Tigers have gone to great lengths to dress up with reminders of the franchise’s long and rich history. Several displays, called “decade bats,” cover different eras in team history.

In left field, you’ll find statues of six Tigers greats, including Ty Cobb, Hank Greenberg and Al Kaline.

Also in the main concourse, you can find a ferris wheel (with cars made to resemble baseballs) and a merry-go-round in case the typical ballpark accoutrements aren’t entertaining you enough.

Just like the playing field’s rather large dimensions, the layout of Comerica Park’s seating bowl can feel pretty large as well — but it doesn’t necessarily mean the farthest seats offer a subpar view. Sight lines from the upper deck are typically fine, and if you’re seated behind home plate or on the third-base site, you’re treated to a splendid view of the Detroit skyline.

From upper-deck seating you’ll also have a pretty good view of Comerica Park’s outfield features, including the display of the Tigers’ retired numbers and the fountain nestled within the ivy-covered batter’s eye, which goes off whenever a Tigers player hits a home run or the team finishes off a victory.

One oddity you’ll probably notice rather quickly, regardless of where your seating area is located, is the placement of Comerica Park’s main scoreboard in left field. It’s strangely far left, practically in line with the foul pole, though most of the pertinent info is displayed in the center, well within view from most angles. (Steps were taken before the 2012 season to address these issues , including the installation of an HD scoreboard.)

Food and drink at Comerica Park

Comerica Park’s wide main concourse also includes a food court, the “Big Cat Court,” located behind the home-plate seating area; this is also where you’ll find the merry-go-round, aka the Comerica Carousel.

If you’ve entered the ballpark through Gate A at the intersection of Witherell and Columbia streets (recognizable by the two giant bats as well as the tiger sculpture in the middle), this area will be just off to the left.

If you’re looking for a good overview of the food offerings, the Big Cat Court is a good place to start, with just about every concession item offered in the ballpark available either here or somewhere else nearby.

Two items easily identifiable as part of Detroit cuisine, the coney dog and the Greek gyro sandwich, are readily available as well — both, in fact, are offered at the Leo’s Coney Island stand. It being Detroit and home to the powerful Ilitch family, Little Caesars Pizza also operates at the stadium.

Beer fans shouldn’t miss the Beer Hall, located on the third-base side, which features a wide array of local beers. If you’re sitting in the 300 level, then check out the Blue Moon Brewhouse, which also features a brewpub atmosphere within the ballpark.

Comerica Park bag and food policy

Per policy , approved bags for entry into Comerica Park must measure 4 inches by 6 inches by 1.5 inches or smaller. They need not be clear, like those permitted in NFL stadiums.

Backpacks of any kind, as well as suitcases and large purses are among the bags forbidden at Comerica Park, per stadium policy.

No outside food is permitted at Comerica Park, with the exception of one factory-sealed water per guest, or juice boxes if children are in the party.

Bags will be inspected by security at the entry gates to Comerica Park, and patrons carrying any bags that don’t comply with stadium policy will be denied entry.

Detailed Fan Guides for MLB & MiLB

• Comerica Park

Based on what you see and read about the city of Detroit in the media, you might be hesitant to add this Midwest stop to your baseball road trip itinerary. But don’t be so quick to cast off the Motor City. Sure, the city has its share of problems, but provided you stick to the right areas, you’ll be safe and will have a blast in Detroit. The city has a ton of interesting things to do, but for baseball fans, the center of your road trip is Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. From statues to amusement park rides to outstanding views of the city, Comerica Park has it all for any baseball fan.

After inhabiting Tiger Stadium from 1912 to 1999, the Tigers moved into Comerica Park for the 2000 season. And while Tiger Stadium wasn’t without its charms, Comerica Park’s modern amenities and nod to the past make for a great stop on any baseball road trip. First, the basics: The park’s seating capacity in its inaugural season was 40,120, but subsequent upgrades have boosted the capacity to 41,255. The field’s pitcher-friendly measurements are 345 feet to left, 370 feet to left-center, 420 feet to center, 365 feet to right-center and 330 feet to right.

Get to Comerica Park good and early; from the time the gates open 95 minutes before first pitch up until you take your seat in time for the National Anthem, you’ve got a wealth of neat sights to check out. Be sure to take a stroll to the standing room area on the left field side of the batter’s eye. Here, you can’t help but stop to check out Comerica Park’s renowned group of statues. The six statues honor the former Tigers whose names/numbers have been retired by the team – Ty Cobb, Hal Newhouser, Charlie Gehringer, Hank Greenberg, Al Kaline and Willie Horton. On the brick facing below the statues and adjacent to the left field seats, you’ll see the names and numbers of the six players. (Cobb doesn’t have a number above his name because players didn’t wear numbers during his playing days.) If you’re interested in the team’s history, be sure to check out another key attraction – the team’s second wall of fame area in right-center field, situated to the side of the right-field bleachers. The wall features the names of Harry Heilmann, Hughie Jennings, Mickey Cochrane, Ernie Harwell, Heinie Manush, Sam Crawford and George Kell.

And speaking of history, walking through the concourses of Comerica Park gives you a thorough history lesson. The team has vast displays for each decade of Tigers baseball and while many teams have displays honoring their history, this is one of the most thorough you’ll see. The field itself has a nod to baseball’s past; look for the strip of dirt that runs between the pitcher’s mound and home plate. Common in old parks, this “keyhole” is featured only in two MLB parks – Detroit and Arizona.

If something a little more interactive is up your alley, be sure to stop by the Big Cat Court, located on the lower level of the first base side. One of the hottest spots in the ballpark to visit, the Big Cat Court (behind Section 119) is known for its tiger-themed carousel, but it also boasts a long list of concession stands. This area is truly shaped like a court; it’s round, with the carousel in the center and concession stands lining the perimeter. The carousel includes 30 hand-painted tigers and a pair of chariots and even if you’re not visiting Comerica with kids, be sure to stop by. Riding the carousel costs just $2, but kids under 14 can ride for free on Sundays.

You can’t mention the Big Cat Court and the carousel without noting the Fly Ball Ferris Wheel (behind Section 132), too. The latter isn’t in the same location as the carousel – the Ferris wheel is on the opposite side of the park, on the lower level between home and third base. The Ferris wheel has 12 baseball-shaped cars, reaches 50 feet in the air and costs just $2 to ride. Like the carousel, kids can ride for free on Sundays.

Although the carousel and Ferris wheel will be the big hits when visiting Comerica Park with your kids, don’t forget to check out the batting cage and speed pitch area, located near Section 106. If you’re visiting on a Sunday, kids under 14 years old can run the bases after the game. Finally, if you’re a first-time visitor, stop by Guest Services (sections 130, 210 or 330) to ask for a free certificate commemorating your first visit.

If you need to snag some Tigers swag before first pitch, you won’t have to look far to find one of Comerica Park’s team shops. The flagship store, The D Shop, is down the first base line next to the Big Cat Court. In addition to selling a seemingly endless list of products with the old English “D,” the shops boast an absolutely incredible selection of autographed and game-used memorabilia. Whether you’re looking for a signed or game-used ball, bat, base, cleats, hat or other gear, you’ll likely be able to find it here.

Regardless of where you choose to sit, keep an eye on the giant tiger statues atop the video board in left field once the game begins. When Detroit scores a run, the tigers’ eyes light up, which is especially impressive once the sun is down. During home runs, shift your attention to the Chevrolet Fountain in center field. While some parks shoot off fireworks after a home run, Comerica provides a unique twist – a fireworks-like water display, complete with lights, is sure to catch your eye.

Equally impressive is the video board. Though you’re likely here for the game itself, keeping an eye on the video board will keep you entertained and is sure to teach you a few things, too. The Tigers do an excellent job of going beyond the bare bones – for example, the board will often show situational stats for hitters depending on who’s on the mound.

The Tigers didn’t add numbers to their uniforms until the early 30’s, so no number accompanies Cobb’s Statue.

Comerica Park| Must Do

Check out the statues.

Most notably, you’ll notice several large tiger sculptures and 80-foot tall baseball bats out front of the gates to the park. Once you’re inside Comerica Park, you’ll notice statues aligning the brick walls in the outfield. Along the interior of the brick, facing the field, are the numbers retired by the Tigers. A statue of the Tiger each retired number belongs to is located atop the brick wall in the standing room of the outfield concourse. You may notice Ty Cobb is missing a number. This is because the Tigers didn’t add numbers to their uniforms until the early 30’s. You’ll find:

• Willie Horton
• Hank Greenberg
• Charlie Gehringer
• Hal Newhouser

In the concourse near section 212, you’ll also find a statue of the long time beloved radio broadcaster Ernie Harwell. Harwell spent 42 seasons as the voice of the Tigers and is famous for his “It’s Looong Gone” home run call. Here that and some of his other gems below:

Visit the Carnival Themed Rides

Looking for something to do other than watch the ballgame? The Tigers have you covered. On the 1B side of the park near section 119, there is a Carousel with hand painted Tigers instead of horses. You’ll also find some carnival themed mini games near the carousel. On the 3B side near section 132, you can ride a ferris wheel with baseball shaped cars. The cost for each ride is $2, but is free for kids on Sundays.

Explore the Walk of Fame

Since joining the American League in 1901, the Detroit Tigers are the oldest franchise in league history to keep one name and one city continuously. The walk of fame consists of several small displays that detail the deep history of the Tigers since the 1800s when they were a member of the minor league. You’ll find the display cases throughout the main concourse. If you are a baseball or a history fan, you’ll definitely want to take the time to view them.

Keep an Eye on the Chevy Fountain

There’s a reason the Tigers are nicknamed the Motor City Kitties. Detroit was built by the American automotive industry. Since Comerica opened in 2000, the fountains in Center Field have paid homage to this fact. In 2009, the recession hit the auto industry (and Detroit) hard. Strapped for cash, General Motors was unable to renew their sponsorship of the fountain. Instead of taking the GM logo down, the Tigers added the Chrysler and Ford logos to the fountain as a show of support for the entire American automotive industry, and the people of Detroit. In 2010, GM was able to renew their sponsorship, and the fountain is now known as the Chevy Fountain.

The fountain is used to celebrate home runs, and puts on a “liquid fireworks” display with synchronized lights and music, so you’ll want to keep an eye on it during the game.

Comerica Park | Transportation and Parking

Comerica Park is located in downtown Detroit, which if we’re being honest, doesn’t have the greatest reputation for safety. It’s rare for anything to happen near the ballpark, but it’s always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings. We recommend driving and parking in one of the official lots or nearby off-site lots.

Official Comerica Park Lots

The “officially recommended” lots near Comerica Park are actually owned and operated by a third party — Olympia Development. These lots are near the ballpark and are secure and well lit. You can purchase parking as you arrive and pay by credit card. The closest lots to the ballpark cost $25. They are (click for directions):

• 61 East Elizabeth
• 850 Witherell Lot
• 200 Madison
• The D Garage
• Tigers Garage

With the exception of the Fox Garage, the lots west of Woodward Ave are slightly cheaper at $15. You’ll find several available Olympia lots, nearby some of the area’s bars and restaurants. As long as you stay east of Grand River, you’ll still be no more than a half mile from the ballpark. You can reserve any of these spots ahead of time by using the ParkWhiz App, officially recommended on the Tiger’s website

Off-Site / Free Parking Options Near Comerica Park

You’ll find several off-site parking lots that will range in price. As you drive in, look for signage and orange flags. You can also reserve a spot ahead of time on one of the following apps:

• Parking Panda

You can find street parking within a few blocks of the ballpark, so it’s worth making a lap. Just keep in mind that there are several residential buildings nearby, so you’ll want to make sure to check the signage. On Sundays, the meters are out of service so street parking is free.

Public Transportation

Public transportation is an option for Comerica Park, but we recommend avoiding it unless you are an experienced transit rider. The Q-Line is a streetcar that serves 12 locations throughout Detroit. The Q-Line has a stop on the corner of Woodward Ave and E Montcalm St, which is about a block from the park.

You can also ride the DDOT bus. You’ll want to take the #4 to the Woodward Ave and Columbia St stop.

One of your best options for transportation will be shuttles. If you’re staying near the ballpark, your hotel may offer a free shuttle. Additionally, there are several well known bars in the area where you can park a car for free, then pay a small fare to shuttle to Comerica Park. Nemo’s , Bookie’s , Harry’s , McShane’s , and The Old Shillelagh are all good options.

Uber & Lyft

The designated rideshare pickup zone is north of 75. Head north on John R St to find it. There should be signage marking the way.

If you’re new to Uber, you can use this link to get a discount on your first few rides.

You can also hail a cab, which there will be plenty of after the ballgame.

Comerica Park | Best Seats

Best seats for tigers history.

“Mr. Tiger,” Al Kaline never played at Comerica Park, but he still has a corner there. In 1954 and 55, the Tigers removed box seating from Old Tiger Stadium to make room for Al Kaline as he chased down foul balls. The right fielder was known for giving an all out effort that would sometimes send him crashing into the right field seats. A beautiful writeup of the process can be read on kalinescorner.com . When the club moved to Comerica Park, it seemed only natural to include Kaline’s Corner. According to fans of Old Tiger Stadium, the view of the corner at Comerica is almost identical to the old ballpark. Some fans disapprove of the recreation, but the seats offer a great view and are a nice nod to one of the greatest Tigers of all time.

Best Seats for Game Views

Comerica Park is another park with a great view of the downtown skyline in the outfield, so we prefer the interior seating bowl. The third deck at this park offers padded seats and a great view of the entire park and skyline. These seats are also great for budget conscious fans. If you don’t mind spending a bit more money (Think $80ish per ticket), you can score seats in the Tiger Den. The Den is located in the top few rows of the lower seating bowl. These areas are designed to look like the old school “boxes” that you’d find at older venues. You can move your chair around in your semi enclosed area. If you prefer to watch the game from one of the baselines behind a dugout, we’d recommend the 1B side here, since the scoreboard is situated in left field.

Where not to Sit

There aren’t any real obstructions at Comerica Park, or a bad seat to be had really. If we had to recommend staying away from a ticket, it would be for the outfield bleachers. These tickets are dirt cheap, but the bleachers are a general seating area that is first come first serve. They’re also far from the action and not as comfortable as the seats you’ll find in the rest of the park.

Best Seats for Shade

Home plate at Comerica Park faces south-east, which makes the 1B side the first to get shade. For truly midday games, you’ll want to try and find an overhang in the last few rows of the lower sections along 1B and the right field corner. As the sun sets, the shade will creep towards 3B.

Best Seats for Foul Balls

Looking to snag a souvenir from Comerica Park? According to foulballz.com , your best changes are along the 3B line in sections 132-137, and 122-118 on the 1B side.

Comerica Park | Ballpark Food

The must have: bratwurst.

Around the park you’ll find sausage stands which offer several different dogs. We’ve gotten nothing but rave reviews about their Bratwurst. Top it with peppers and onions for the full effect. Best paired with a cold beer. Try section 206 for both a dog and a brew.

Something Special: The Mac Daddy Dog

Detroit is famous for its dogs, and Comerica Park serves over 650,000 of them each year! The Mac Daddy is special. A regular hot dog topped with mac ‘n cheese, scallions and bacon. Find it at the Big Cat Court in section 119.

The Challenge: Coney Island Pizza

We’re calling this a challenge because we’re just…not sure about it. Square sliced Scicilian style pizza is a Detroit staple. Coney dogs are a Detroit staple. Square sliced Scicilian style pizza topped with coney island dogs, mustard, and onions? We’re not sure. If you’re brave enough to try it, let us know . You can find it at Little Caesars in the Big Cat Court (section 119) and sections 115, 137, 217, 323, and 334.

Vegetarian and Vegan Options at Comerica Park

You can find veggie dogs throughout the park at the Big League Grill (sections 108, 130, and 325). You’ll also find the Beyond Burger at the Big Cat Court (section 119). Big Cat Court also offers a falafel sandwich which is vegetarian.

Comerica Park visitor guide: everything you need to know

Comerica Park is a celebrated ballpark and venue that’s home to Major League Baseball's Detroit Tigers . Opened in 2000, the park has become an iconic landmark in the city, with the Ferris wheel in the background of the outfield and the historic carousel making it a family-friendly spectacle. 

Offering a seating capacity of over 41,000 spectators, this is a major location for summertime concerts and other events in Detroit. Its downtown location makes it a central destination for Detroiters, the surrounding suburbs, and even a few baseball fans from nearby Windsor. 

If you’re traveling into Detroit for a game or show, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the bag policy so that there are no surprises at the gate. If you have luggage of any sort, you’ll need to find a secure place to store it before heading to the game. Comerica Park luggage storage doesn’t get any easier than using Bounce. It’s simple to book online, convenient, and always secure - ideal for when you’re in a bind.

Comerica Park bag policy 

The Comerica Park bag policy is pretty strict. All bags need to be single compartments and smaller than 4" x 6" x 1.5", and that includes the strap. All backpacks, suitcases, and luggage are strictly prohibited.

There are medical exceptions that include diaper bags and breast pumps for families, along with medical items like oxygen, insulin, epi-pens, and similar items. 

Because of the strict bag policy, you will not want to get caught with your luggage at the gate, only to be turned away. Luckily, Bounce’s luggage storage spot in downtown Detroit, as well as the Walker location, are both near Comerica Park and the city’s best cultural offerings. 

Comerica Park food policy 

All outside food and drink are prohibited, with the exception of juice boxes and formula for small children. Additionally, each guest is allowed one factory-sealed plastic water bottle or a completely empty one for refilling at water fountains.

Don’t fret about the food policy because Comerica Park has an amazing selection of local bites to enjoy during the game. The Beer Hall has curated an incredible menu of local craft beer, and spots like Bert’s and the Lobster Food Truck bring epic snacks like BBQ nachos and lobster mac and cheese . 

For those with dietary restrictions, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options are common at vendors like Breadless . The spicy falafel is the most popular plant-based option at the ballpark.

Comerica Park transportation 

It’s fairly simple to figure out how to get to Comerica Park. It’s located right in downtown Detroit, so it’s very easy to access from the rest of the city and surrounding suburbs. 

People Mover

Detroit's automated People Mover is a convenient option for traveling within the downtown area. The Grand Circus Park Station and the Broadway Station are both within walking distance of Comerica Park.

The QLine is Detroit’s streetcar that runs along Woodward Avenue directly to the ballpark. The park is walkable from the Montcalm and Grand Circus QLine stations. 

If you're staying downtown, Comerica Park is extremely walkable. Brush Park and Lafayette are within a 20-minute walk as well. 

Taxi and rideshare 

Uber and Lyft are both widely available in Detroit, and you'll still find taxis, especially in the downtown districts. There are designated pick-up and drop-off points near the ballpark.

If you're driving in from the suburbs or out of town, Comerica Park is relatively accessible from Highway 375. Parking can be tough as it fills up pretty early.

Public transportation

Detroit's SMART bus network covers most of downtown with special bus services to accommodate the larger crowds on game day. 

Comerica Park camera policy 

Point-and-shoot cameras, including disposable and polaroid models, are allowed in the park so long as they don’t have detachable lenses. Professional equipment like tripods, monopods, detachable lenses, and video recording devices all require a media credential, according to the Comerica Park camera policy. GoPros and tablets aren’t allowed in the stadium, either.

Comerica Park rules 

Permitted items .

Ballpark classics like headsets, binoculars, small radios, seat cushions, and baseball mitts are welcome inside. Strollers that fold up to fit beneath seats are permitted in the stadium, but larger ones will need to be checked at guest services. 

Signs, banners, and flags are allowed so long as they are smaller than 11” x 17” and pertain (strictly) to the event. 

Prohibited items 

Glowsticks, flashlights, laser pointers (obviously), and any outside lights are strictly prohibited. Banners, flags, and signs attached to a stick or pole are also prohibited. Large umbrellas with metal tips are also banned. 

Gates open one hour and 40 minutes prior to the first pitch. If there is a ceremony or promotional component to the game, this will be communicated on your ticket and on the Tigers' website. 

Recently, Comerica Park has gone cashless, with credit and debit cards being the primary form of payment for concessions and merchandise. Mobile payments like Apple and Google Pay are also standard. What’s new to Comerica Park is the Cash2Card Kiosks you’ll see around the stadium, which allow you to convert cash to Visa cards that you can use anywhere (not just the ballpark). 

There are no longer any testing or vaccine requirements to enter Comerica Park. 

Conclusion 

If you’re in Detroit and the Tigers are in town, there’s no better way to spend an afternoon than catching a game at this historic ballpark, especially when the weather is pleasant. Not only can you catch nine innings, but the area around Comerica Park is ripe for exploration. Just don’t get caught dragging your luggage up to the gate.

Comerica Park History

Comerica Park was built at the same time as Ford Field as a part of a revitalization project for downtown Detroit. Comerica Park sits near the Fox Theatre, as well as St. John Episcopal Church and Central United Methodist Church, two historic downtown churches. The first game held at Comerica Park was on April 11, 2000. Outside of the front gate is a huge statue of a tiger that welcomes fans. Once you step inside the stadium, you’ll find exhibits showing the history of the Tigers’ franchise, including memorabilia from MLB hall of fame players like Ty Cobb and Hank Greenberg, and a statue of longtime announcer Ernie Harwell.

On the left-field concourse, there are plaques for players who have their numbers retired by the team and a statue of Cobb. Over the years, LED scoreboards and video displays have been added. The stadium’s dimensions were changed in 2003, bringing in the left-center field wall 25 feet. In 2014, a $4-million renovation at the Pepsi Porch added over 400 seats to the ballpark.

Comerica Park has hosted many events, including the Hockeytown Winter Festival in December 2013 to coincide with the Winter Classic at the University of Michigan Stadium. A public ice skating rink was placed inside the stadium for fans to enjoy.

COMERICA PARK

Detroit, MI

Ask any Tigers fan what symbolizes their team, and many will respond with either the Old English D or Tiger Stadium as both have been integral components of this franchise. The Old English D has appeared on Tigers caps and uniforms for more than a century. Tiger Stadium was the home of the franchise from 1912 through the 1999 season. It was a unique and historical ballpark with many interesting characteristics but one that lacked many modern amenities sought by the team.

Ownership began to seek a new ballpark in the 1980s. In 1988 several sites were identified as possible locations for a ballpark including west of Fox Theater, the northeast edge of downtown Detroit and north of Tiger Stadium in the Briggs community. The Tigers initially favored the site north of Tiger Stadium until the revitalization of Detroit’s theater district began. In 1987, the Tiger Stadium Fan Club was formed to support renovating the stadium and developed plans to renovate Tiger Stadium. The Tigers were leery of this plan because they would have to acquire 10 acres of land and close the stadium for two years to fully renovate the stadium. In 1992 Detroit entrepreneur Mike Illitch purchased the Tigers and was committed to building a new stadium for the team to spur redevelopment in downtown Detroit. However, an ordinance was passed by voters banning public financing on any new stadiums. The Tigers were not detoured from building a new ballpark in downtown Detroit. In 1995 the city agreed to help fund a new downtown stadium and in March 1996 voters approved a plan for construction. Following other ballparks that were built during the 1990s, the Tigers new ballpark was built mainly of steel and concrete, with a brick exterior. Construction began October 29, 1997.

For the first time in over 100 years, opening day baseball was played at a location other than at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull. Nearly 41,000 fans filled Comerica Park on opening day, April 11, 2000. Comerica Park is among several other prominent buildings in downtown Detroit including Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions and the Fox Theater. As one approaches the ballpark, fans see the brick exterior, massive light towers and cannot miss the enormous tiger sculptures at many of the entrances. Once inside the ballpark, fans are on the main concourse as the field is 25 feet below street level.

Consisting of three levels, no seat at Comerica Park is obstructed as was the case at Tiger Stadium. Nearly every seat in the main grandstand has an excellent view of downtown Detroit. The grandstand extends from behind homeplate to the left and right field foul poles and the upper deck is split along the first base side. Fans can walk along the main concourse of the ballpark without ever losing sight of the playing field. In straight away dead centerfield are several fountains that produce liquid fireworks when a homerun is hit. Located along the left-centerfield wall are six statues of Tiger Hall of Famer’s, including Ty Cobb, Al Kaline and Hank Greenberg. The main HD video/scoreboard sits behind one level of seats in left field. Other than watching the Tigers game, there are many amenities at Comerica Park. They include a ferris wheel, a merry-go-round or fans can just stroll around the ballpark to check out the different view from various sections. Few changes have occurred at Comerica Park since it opened. After the 2004 season, the bullpens that were once located in right field were moved behind the left field fence, replaced by 950 seats. Prior to the start of the 2024 season, one of the largest videoboards in baseball was installed at Comerica Park. Replacing the existing one in left field, the new videoboard is over 15,000 square feet.

Comerica Park is an iconic sports venue for its amazing, magical, and breathtaking skyline and outstanding building structure. Located in Downtown Detroit, MI, it is the home to MLB franchise the Detroit Tigers , winners of four World Series Titles and 11 AL Pennants. The ballpark was opened in 2000 replacing the historic Tiger Stadium , which traced its origin to 1911.

The History

The Detroit Tigers, the oldest MLB franchise, took birth in 1894. They constructed Bennett Park in 1896 as their home ground. In 1912, the team moved to Navin Field , which was built on the same site and inaugurated on the very day Boston Red Sox opened Fenway Park . The stadium went through multiple renovations and became Tiger Stadium in 1961.

The Detroit Tigers started to look for a new home in the mid-1990s, as their Tiger stadium had reached its modernization limits. Construction began on October 29, 1997, for a new stadium. It became Comerica Park in December 1998 after Comerica Bank bought 30-year naming rights for $66 million. As part of the Downtown Detroit revival plan, an indoor stadium – Ford Field – came into existence next to it.

Comerica Park was opened on April 11, 2000, and the Tigers moved to their new home after playing at the Tiger Stadium for 88 seasons. The first game saw the home team registering a 5-2 win against the Seattle Mariners.

Design and Features

The fame of Comerica park lies in its incredible building that is exceptionally rich in design. It truly depicts the definition of what we mean by “picturesque” and knows how to grab people’s attention effortlessly with its unique and modern features. The fabulous Fox Theater built in 1928 sits across the entrance to the ballpark. Historic St. John Episcopal Church and Central United Methodist Church are just a few minutes’ walk from the stadium entrance.

A giant 15-ft sculpture of a tiger at the entrance welcomes visitors to Comerica Park, which also has another eight prowling tiger statues at different parts. Every time a home run is scored, there was a sound of the roaring of tigers preceded by lighting up of the eyes of two big cat statutes on the scoreboard. The stadium also has 33 replicas of tiger heads holding lighted baseballs.

The giant Chevrolet Fountain behind center field has also logos of GM, Chrysler, and Ford to showcase Detroit’s preeminence in the automobile sector. Comerica Park underwent a $4 million renovation in 2014 that added more seats, lounge chairs, and couches, a bar on the porch, a fire pit, high-top tables as well as a fire pit.

There is a monument park at Comerica Park. It has full-sized statues of six of the Tigers’ greats namely Charlie Gehringer, Hal Newhouser, Ty Cobb, Hank Greenburg, Willie Horton, and Al Kaline. It continues to have a dirt track as most ballparks had before the 1940s. Another attraction is a Ferris wheel with baseball-type cars at the northeastern corner.

Facilities and Amenities

Comerica Park is one of the most sought-after dining places in Detroit. The Big Cat Food Court located just off the stadium entrance offers an extensive range of scrumptious cuisines. The Beer Hall has one of the finest collections of beverages served alongside a tavern-style menu in an appealing setting. Brushfire Grill is an open-air dining area with a beautiful fountain.

Tiger Club at Comerica Park is the place to enjoy games amid a full buffet and a thrilling view of the field. Blue Moon Brewhouse is another lounge at the upper concourse.

Liquid fireworks display with lights and music on the centerfield wall following home runs and key moments during a game is another major attraction at Comerica Park. There is a carousel at the stadium featuring 30 tigers and two chariots. It is beautifully hand-painted and accessible to those using wheelchairs. Tigers Retail section has five merchandise stores selling souvenirs and baseball merchandise.
