COMERICA PARK
A New Inning in Baseball History
A new inning in Detroit's baseball history is in
full swing as Comerica Park - home of the Detroit Tigers - welcomes
baseball enthusiasts to the game. Placing the franchise and facility
at the forefront of professional sports, the faces of today's top
players and fans are aglow in the open-air ballpark that opened
its doors in 2000.
Built next door to the Detroit Lions new entertainment complex,
Ford Field, the 40,000-seat stadium, maintains traditional architecture
while adding luxury suites, an incredible picnic area, the most
progressive concession areas in the world, topped off with a carousel
and Ferris wheel for fans to ride. Tigers audiences share the same
baseball thrills their grandparents felt at the old Tiger Stadium,
in the comforts of a truly modern facility.
Comerica Park has also hosted concerts featuring top musical acts.
The Dave Matthews Band christened Comerica Park on July 3, 2000
with a sold-out performance, and returned in June 2001 for two performances.
Pop music's hottest boy band 'N Sync also performed twice in 2001,
The Molson Canadian Snow Jam revved up the music and extreme sports
action and the first-ever Ford Detroit Music Festival, starring
Luther Vandross, wrapped up the summer schedule that Labor Day.
In 2002, the Detroit Music Festival, starring Mary J. Blige, and
The Parliament Funkadelics Family starring George Clinton and the
Molson Canadian Snow Jam returned to Comerica Park. |
