Fan Guide · Detroit Tigers
Comerica Park: tigers, a carousel and the skyline
Comerica Park, opened in 2000 in the heart of downtown Detroit, is a retro-classic park with sweeping skyline views, giant tiger statues guarding the gates, and a Ferris wheel and carousel that make it one of the most family-friendly stops in the majors.
It sits in Detroit's revitalized entertainment district, next to the Tigers' neighbours in the sports and theatre scene.
Below are the Detroit stays, restaurants and bars fans use around Comerica Park.
Fan tip: Best skyline views are from behind home plate — and the carousel and Ferris wheel are worth a lap with kids.
