Comerica Park Information
In the summer of 2000, the city of Detroit unveiled Comerica Park to their fans. Comerica Park has become the home of the American League Central’s Detroit Tigers, and it’s nothing like the old Tiger Stadium. Tiger Stadium might have been best known for it’s towering upper deck structures, but Comerica Park has no upper deck seating, so the fan has an unobstructed view of the field and the downtown skyline. The entire process cost around $300 million, but more than half of that money came from private sources, easing the burden of the tax payer. The sight lines of the fan were the biggest priority in building Comerica Park.
The scoreboard, consisting of a video screen, a black and white matrix board and a color matrix board, is larger than any facility in existence. In the middle of the food court, there is a ferris wheel and a merry-go-round with tigers instead of horses. Tickets to the “Tiger Den,” the best seats in the house, go for $60 a ticket, and tickets down the left and right field lines cost $25 each. Tickets can also be bought for the outfield bleachers or the skyline for under $10.
