Home of the Detroit Tigers!

Enjoy a summer day out at Detroit and catch the fantastic view of the city’s skyline from Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. Comerica Park was once known as the Tiger’s Stadium, however in the year 2000, Comerica Park opened.  Every summer, fans gather to Comerica Park to cheer on the Tigers.  I started coming to ball games as a young child with my family and now as a young adult I come to games every summer with my friends and family to support our Detroit Tigers!  I always have a blast at the games, as there is so much to enjoy.  The open-air ballpark has luxury suites, an amazing picnic area, large concession areas, a carousel and ferris wheel for fans to ride.  This sure is the place to be, whether you are coming here with your family or friends. 

Comerica Park welcomes you with a statue of a fierce tiger guarding the park.  This is the famous tiger that everyone seems to love taking a picture with before or after the game.  I always make sure to take my picture with the tiger, which makes for some wonderful memories.  Along the brick walls outside of the park are thirty-three tiger heads with lighted baseballs in their mouths, which I always think looks beautiful at night.  There are also eight other brave tiger statues throughout the park, including two on top of the scoreboard in the left field.  After a Tigers’ home run or a victory the tigers’ eyes light up and the sound of a growling tiger plays, as well.  Comerica Park also features a fountain that creates a stunning “liquid fireworks” display.  The fountain is harmonized to music and changing lights, which is used to celebrate home runs and other great game moments. This is a fantastic way to cheer up the crowd and get everyone pumped up for the rest of the game and games to come.   

Not only can you come to Comerica Park to watch a ball game, but there are many other attractions for all to enjoy. One that many seem to love is the Big Cat Food Court, located near the main entrance and offers a wide variety of food choices, such as French fries, handmade pretzels, deli sandwiches, gyros, fresh squeezed lemonade, frozen daiquiris, elephant ears, ice cream, coney and Chicago style hot dogs.

There is also the Brushfire Grill, which is perfect for an outdoor event.  There is the Fly Ball Ferris Wheel, Baseball Fountain and over 6,000 square feet of space, which is the best place for a cookout or picnic.  My family and I love to come here for picnics, as I come from a large family so this is the perfect place to be when it comes to many people.  One year we celebrated my brother’s birthday at The Brushfire Grill, and it was loads of fun! 

The Comerica Carousel is located at the base of the food court.  This elaborate carousel features 30 hand-painted tigers and two chariots.  I love to end my night riding the carousel and taking in the city of Detroit (the best part is the ride fee is only $2 per person).  The ride is also wheelchair-accessible, and kids 14 and under ride free on Sundays. 

Another favorite attraction of mine is the Fly Ball Ferris Wheel, which is located on the third base side of the Park in the Brushfire Grill.  The ferris wheel is 50-feet and features cars shaped like baseballs that can seat up to five passengers (also wheelchair accessible). 

For the adults, there is the Witherell Bar, which is a small space and perfect for cocktail parties or events.  The Beer Hall is another casual space, which can hold up to 350 people.  This sports bar includes audio and video capabilities, moveable walls, and an open floor plan to arrange your own event.

Comerica Park allows you to host your own event and gatherings from 50 to 40,000 people.  You can host events, such as weddings, product launches, meetings, press conferences, holiday parties, fundraisers, and much more!

Comerica Park is also known for concerts, as it has hosted concerts such as Eminem, The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Jay-Z, Kid Rock, and just this past month singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffet came to Comerica Park for a concert.  Comerica Park also hosted the 2007 Vans Warped Tour, in which many bands performed.  So, if you come at the right time you might have a chance to attend a concert.
