Editorial Review for Comerica Park – by Andy Olesko and Robert Fanning
The Venue
Two enormous tiger statues greet visitors from the park's main entrance, along with inlaid pillars decorated with giant tiger scratches. Aside from the mascot theme, stadium designers bridged the old (Detroit Tiger memorabilia hangs throughout the park) with the new (tall jets of spotlighted water sway beyond center field after a Tiger home run). There's even a carousel and Ferris wheel to ride.
The Experience
Comerica Park was designed to provide fans with a wonderful view of the city's skyline. Also, many of Tiger Stadium's shortcomings, such as obstructed views and uncomfortable seats, are history; there's not a bad seat in this house. And nouvelle baseball cuisine has arrived: Comerica Park's Big Cat Court features a variety of offerings, including pizza, gyros, subs and baked potatoes.

Food service is the worst in the country. I got up to get a 2 hot dogs and a beerin the 5th inning. It was the 8th by the time I got back to my seat. You have to goto one line for a hot dog another for beer and a another for water. Each line was 10 minutes long. It is the worst thing I've ever seen. I will never go again. Other than that the place is great.
Pros: Clean, New
Cons: Long lines, Slow Lines

Everyone I have taken to this park has left happy regardless of how good or horrible the Tigers played. There are so many interesting places to watch the game and the attention to detail (outfield statues, custom tile work, etc) always provides something to hold your interest. Lastly the beautiful view of the Detroit skyline gives vistors a postive lasting impression of the city.
