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.

In the concourse above the retired numbers, there are statues of the first 6 Tigers whose numbers have been retired. Ty Cobb’s statue is also included. The Tigers didn’t add numbers to their uniforms until the early 30’s, so no number accompanies Cobb’s Statue. On the right field side of the wall are the names of several important names in the Detroit baseball community. The Tigers have retired the following numbers:

• #2 — Charlie Gehringer (1983)
• #3 — Alan Trammell (2018)
• #5 — Hank Greenberg (1983)

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.

Most people were enjoyed all the other amenities rather than watching the game.. disappointing that they were not announcing the game as it was happening like they used to.

5/5 - Excellent

I had a lovely time!!

$22 tti Uber. Well worth it

The field is 20 minutes walking from the hotel, I would recommend Uber or cab back at night.

Take me out to the ball game behind the scenes tour of comerica park.

• On 25August2015

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see what was going on underneath the stadium seats while watching a game at Comerica Park? I recently went on a Behind the Scenes Tour of Comerica Park with my Aunt and the Detroit Shoppe group.

The Detroit Shoppe puts on fabulous bus tours of unusual places around Detroit that are entirely unexpected and surprising. This particular tour of Comerica Park included additional stops at St. John’s Episcopal Church and the original Buddy’s Pizza in Detroit. This post is all about the areas that you can’t go when you come to a ball game unless you are a player or in the media. Enjoy the behind the scenes look at the tour of Comerica Park.

When we got dropped off at Comerica Park, we gathered in the lobby where we waited for the tour guide. There happened to be another tour of Comerica Park that got there before us so, there was a slight mix-up with who was going to give the tour. But once they got it all straightened out, we were off.

Our first stop on the tour of Comerica Park was where the media camera is at the back of the center field. We got to go into the secured area. The amazing view they have of the whole baseball parks. There was a Fantasy Baseball Camp going on while we were on our tour. Lots of money spent to play ball for a weekend and pretend that you’re a professional baseball player.

After this stop, we walked around the Detroit Tiger’s Walk of Fame. This corridor is in the main concourse depicting from the 1800’s to present.  Each display has artifacts of that era, including the wheel & tire of the automobile at that time, the frames are painted with the most popular car colors of that time, and all the Tigers memorabilia. Nice trip down memory lane.

If you are a big baseball fan and even bigger Detroit Tigers fan, check out this Behind the Scenes Tour of Comerica Park, you won’t be disappointed! Are there other ballparks that have great behind the scenes tours?

Thumbs Down: Teammates Not Impressed with Arnold's First Pitch

John maakaron | jun 14, 2024.

• Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold spent Thursday afternoon at Comerica Park after signing his rookie NFL contract.

Arnold tossed out the first pitch prior to the Detroit Tigers afternoon ballgame against the Washington Nationals.

With teammates watching, the 2024 Detroit first-round pick did not have the best effort, as the ball bounced in the dirt prior to reaching home plate.

There was some inherent pressure, as Arnold did not walk to the mound alone.

Teammates, who were filming and standing behind the talented defensive back, did not shy away from instantly sharing their opinions, and some were not too complimentary.

Many chuckled, and the 21-year-old even earned a thumbs down from one of his Lions teammates.

Fellow Lions rookies Sione Vaki, Giovanni Manu and Ennis Rakestraw were able to tour Comerica Park, and observe the Tigers earn their only victory of the series against the Nationals, 7-2. Detroit (33-35) lost the first two games of the series.

"I was just blessed to be able to make it official," Arnold said about signing his rookie contract, via the Detroit News . "Now, we can go get that Super Bowl. That's the only thing on my mind: Super Bowl or bust. Just like Alabama, National Championship or bust."

Arnold was the last of Detroit's 2024 draft picks to ink his name to a rookie contract.

9 overlooked players who deserve more All-Star love

Will Leitch

Read our story on the balloting format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters.

The first round of balloting results for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard are out, and, as usual, you fans are doing a pretty solid job. All of the names you’d expect to see leading are leading (Shohei, Betts, Harper, Judge), and you’ve even picked up on some of the lesser-known names who have been fantastic so far (Jurickson Profar, Alec Bohm). The All-Star Game is for the fans, so of course you get to choose whoever you want, but it’s always nice to be reminded that baseball has really smart fans!

• VOTE NOW: 2024 MLB All-Star Ballot presented by BuildSubmarines.com

Still, though: I have a few notes. More to the point, there are some players who are having pretty terrific years so far whom you might be overlooking a bit. Voting is still open for a while, so think of this as a little tipsheet to consider some players who might have been overlooked.

Here are nine players who have been excellent so far who didn’t make the top five at their respective positions (or 15 for outfielders) … but hopefully will next time around. ( Note: Monday’s results were limited to the top 10 vote-getters by position, and top 20 for outfielders .)

Carlos Correa , Twins (AL SS) Current standing: 10th

Correa is actually a former starter – he won the balloting way back in 2017, when he was only 22 years old – but he has gone through a difficult few years, mostly because of injuries. And there’s no question that shortstop is the most stacked position on the AL side of the ballot, featuring multiple MVP candidates. That said: Correa might be having the best year of his career? He’s on a tear right now, having raised his average above .300, and he’s third among AL shortstops in OPS , behind only Gunnar Henderson and Bobby Witt Jr. (And he’s rapidly gaining on both of them.) Plus, c’mon, he’s dressing up like Prince in the dugout after homers, what more do you want of a guy?

Riley Greene , Tigers (AL OF) Current standing: Outside top 20

It’s easy to lose track of Greene out in Detroit, on a team that has made strides this season but is still in fourth place in an improved division. (And has drawn more attention for its pitching anyway.) But Greene may be making his superstar leap. On Saturday, he was 4-for-5 with six RBIs, bringing his OPS all the way up to .824 on the year. If that doesn’t seem that high to you, we’ll point out that no Tigers player has posted a full-season OPS over .824 since Nick Castellanos in 2018. (Miguel Cabrera’s last such season was 2016.) Greene is only 23 years old, and he has plenty of All-Star Games in his future. But having him outside the top 20 now, behind even Mike Trout, who hasn’t played since April and won’t be back for this game, seems shortsighted.

Logan O'Hoppe , Angels / Ryan Jeffers , Twins (AL C) Current standing: O’Hoppe 9th / Jeffers outside top 10

If shortstop is the most loaded position in the AL, catcher is close. The Orioles’ Adley Rutschman and the Royals’ Salvador Perez are a totally justified top two : They’re the leaders of two of the best teams in the league. No complaints there. But O’Hoppe and Jeffers have been among the best hitters in the league this year. O’Hoppe has carried the Angels’ offense with Trout out – he just hit a 467-foot homer this weekend – and Jeffers has been one of the few constants outside of Correa for a continuously reshuffling Twins offense. (To be fair, Jeffers has played DH a lot, but he’s listed as a catcher on the ballot.) O’Hoppe is only three points behind Rutschman in OPS and is two years younger. He should be in the top five, and maybe the top two.

Brent Rooker , A’s (AL DH) Current standing: 7th

It’s fair, one supposes, if you’ve paid less attention to the A’s this year than some other teams, but Rooker deserves your notice. He broke through last year, when he hit 30 homers and notched an .817 OPS, and it ended up getting him the A’s lone All-Star nod. But he has been even better this year, putting up an .843 OPS and hitting 13 homers in only 59 games. He has an OPS nearly 70 points higher, for example, than Giancarlo Stanton, who is in second place in the voting. Yordan Alvarez is the clear-cut No. 1 for good reason, but Rooker keeps getting better and better. And we may end up seeing him as the A’s rep yet again this year.

Ezequiel Tovar , Rockies (NL SS) Current standing: 10th

Look, the answer here is obviously Vote Betts , even in the wake of Mookie’s injury : Heck, seeing him hurt actually makes me want to vote for him more . But it must be said that the 22-year-old Rockies shortstop is having a breakthrough season. After a middling April, Tovar has been on a tear for two months now, putting up an .864 OPS in May and .814 in June. And don’t give us any of that “oh, Coors Field” business: He has an .811 OPS at home and an .808 OPS on the road for the season, and nine of his 11 homers have come away from Coors Field. The fact is, Tovar is a future star in this league, and while most people haven’t caught up with that fact yet, this is your opportunity to do so. Elly De La Cruz gets much of the love and hype among non-Betts NL shortstops. But so far, Tovar, who is only four months older than De La Cruz, has been considerably better.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. , Marlins / Bryan Reynolds , Pirates / Jesse Winker , Nationals (NL OF) Current standing: All outside the top 20

If we’re picking outfield omissions from the crowded (and pretty confusing) NL outfield, we might as well pick a trio that didn’t make the top 20. These three are all among the NL outfielders with the highest OPS : Reynolds and Winker are actually tied for fourth at .768, and Chisholm Jr. – who has been on the cover of a video game, for crying out loud – is right behind them at .762. Sure: The NL outfield ballot is bizarrely thin this year. But if three of the six best hitters didn’t even make the top 15, it should probably be noted.

On the whole, though: Great job with the voting, fans! You get better at this every year.
