Comerica Park
Stadium · Detroit, Michigan
The home of the Detroit Tigers of the American League Central since 2000, at 2100 Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit. The first game was played on April 11, 2000 against the Seattle Mariners, and the ballpark cost $300 million to build. Populous, formerly HOK Sport, SHG Inc. and the Rockwell Group were its architects. Capacity was 41,083 as of 2018, and the recorded baseball attendance record is 45,280, set on July 26, 2008 against the Chicago White Sox. Current field dimensions are 342 feet to left field, 412 feet to center and 330 feet to right.
History
Comerica Bank secured the naming rights in December 1998, agreeing to pay $66 million over 30 years, and the agreement was extended in 2018 through 2034. Fifth Third Bank's acquisition of Comerica Bank — announced October 6, 2025 and completed February 1, 2026, in a $10.9 billion deal that made Fifth Third the ninth-largest U.S. bank with about $294 billion in assets — means the ballpark will be rebranded before the 2027 season, according to the ballpark's own encyclopedia article; as of August 2026 the name is still Comerica Park. A large fountain sits behind center field: General Motors sponsored it from 2000 to 2008, and it became the Chevrolet Fountain after GM's sponsorship returned in 2010. The ballpark has one 15-foot tiger statue at its main entrance and eight additional heroic-sized tiger statues located throughout the park, including two prowling atop the left-field scoreboard. A statue of Ty Cobb stands without a retired number, because he played before Tigers players wore numbers. At the left-center field concourse are statues of nearly all Tigers players whose numbers have been retired; Jackie Robinson's number, retired league-wide in 1997, is instead on the wall in right-center field.
