About this place
History of the stadium
Comerica Park opened in 2000, replacing the long-standing Tiger Stadium. Its construction was part of a broader redevelopment of downtown Detroit, aiming to modernize the city’s sports infrastructure. Since its opening, the stadium has hosted regular-season MLB games, postseason series and major baseball events.
Architecture and design
The stadium features a modern open-ballpark design with wide concourses and clear sightlines throughout. A notably deep outfield shapes gameplay and distinguishes the park from many other MLB venues. Architectural elements and decorative features reference Detroit’s industrial heritage.
Atmosphere and matchday experience
Matchdays at Comerica Park offer a classic baseball atmosphere with strong local support. The downtown setting creates a lively pre- and post-game environment, while the open layout provides views of the city skyline. Crowd engagement intensifies during rivalry games and postseason runs.
Location and accessibility
The stadium is located in the heart of downtown Detroit, close to other major sports venues and entertainment districts. It is accessible by public transport, including bus and tram services, and is well connected by major road routes.
Origin of the stadium name
The name Comerica Park comes from a naming rights agreement with Comerica Bank, a financial institution with strong historical ties to Michigan. The name reflects the stadium’s integration into the city’s business and civic landscape.
