Comerica Park
Glitzy New Home for the Tigers
Back to Comerica Park
seats should hover over the action; instead its like folding chairs at a soccor game; poor perspective and sightline.

I was very impressed with this park. You can tell that it is only ten years old. Some how this park has a completely different feel to it than comes across on T.V. I thought this park had a very friendly and intimate feel to it. Also, the grass is as thick and green as I have ever seen in my entire life. Not one "bald spot". It is also very family focused, with rides and fairly polite fans. I thought they had a pretty good food court and a little bar under the right field stands too. I did have a few problems though. The stand that sells Tiger hats and shirts was outrageously expensive! They don't post the prices, then you feel cheap when you don't want to pay, like $75 for a ball cap. I saw one guy ask about a price on a t-shirt and just roll his eyes and walk away. Another thing is that they should have built a dome like many clubs, even in Florida are doing these days. I spent six hours at Comerica because of two rain delays. A third minor complaint is that they only sell about three types of beer at the nearby concession stands and the walking vendors. You can easily spend about $60 on beer if you are like me. Next time I am bringing a flask! Other than this I had a great time watching the Tigers beat on the A's 14 to 1, including 2 grand slams!

Comerica is one cool ballpark. The fans are passionate and well-behaved. Right field porch offers qualift affordable seats. The tiger hall of fame is a nice touch. The only reason I did not give this park 5 stars was because the stands sit so far back from the field of play. For this reason Comerica park lacks an intimate feel.

As long as you sit in premium seating Comerica Park is great. A majority of the seats sit so far from the field that it you feel as if you are watching the game from a roof top across the street. Also, the slope of the seating is so minimal that it is very difficult if not impossable for short people as well as kids to see over the people in the front rows. This ball park is unaffordable for many families unfortunately. Besides the seating, this is a nice ballpark.

Fun and lots to do. Kids area is great. Good exhibits of team history to see. Food and teamwear have good choices but expensive. Beautiful stadium. Splurge on the Tiger Den seats-- lots of leg room and comfy seats.

The police have so many roads blocked off and you can't turn on the street reserved for handicap dropoff. I have to drop my husband in an alley behind Fox Theatre and he has to cross Woodward Ave. in his wheelchair. He has to dodge traffic and throngs of people.

One of the best new stadiums. I love the seating in the boxes. The wooden chairs and tables are great.

great stadium, seats very reasonably priced (before playoff run) parking easy, cool merchandise store, lots of food outlets and toilets, no lines.

I liked the fact that one can park for $8.00 right off of I-75, and then easily walk over to the ballpark. The tickets, starting at about $8.00, are a good deal, and the stadium is beautifully designed. All the seats are good. The team offers excellent ticket/meal combo deals, so check out their website to see what they're offering. The front entrance, with the tigers and bats display is an eye-pleaser. And, what other stadium has a ferris wheel for kids? It's great. Go!

Comerica Park has to be one of the best parks in the country. I thought the look of the stadium was really cool. It is without a doubt a lot more eye appealing than the old Tiger Stadium which really only had the vintage thing going for it. Kids will love the carousel and of course the ferris wheel(in which the cars are shaped like baseballs). The scoreboard is really cool and so is the waterspouts in centerfield. My seats were lower deck behind the plate and I thought the seats were great. My daughter really liked the Tigers on the scoreboard along with the carousel and ferris wheel. I definetly want to go back for another ballgame.
