Best insider tip for Comerica Park?
I would order a large little Caesars pizza and sit out in the outfield. The food stand is out between center and right field and costs $8.50. This is amazing to eat one of these with a coke or beer. The pizza can easily feed two to three people but I like to consume it slowly throughout the game.
Best giveaways at Comerica Park?
The Tigers give away Miguel Cabrera and Verlander bobble heads, t-shirts, little Tiger toys for kids, baseballs, posters, hats, t-shirts, and cookies.
Traffic around Comerica Park?
The stadium is located in downtown Detroit. You might have to deal with a little traffic coming to the game because rush hour still exists until about 7:30. However, after the games your max wait time unless there is a wreck is about 15 minutes.
Best food and drink at Comerica Park?
I have already said that Little Caesars is the best value in all of America and has a great large pizza for only $8.50 which is a steal. They also have a lot of craft brews and then have nachos, Mexican, Greek gyros, barbecue sandwiches, and your normal things like hot dogs and hamburgers.
Stores to hit up at Comerica Park?
The D shop has lots of unique tiger gear such as stuffed animals, autographs batts and balls and then your normal t-shirts, hats, and jerseys, There are also people selling these things outside the stadium before you get in.
Things to check out around Comerica Park?
There is Ford Field, some theaters, the MGM and other Casinos. Other than that Detroit is getting built back up. The Great Lakes are up in this region if you have time and then checking out colleges like MSU and UM are a nice way to spend a weekend!
Best bars near Comerica Park?
Elwood Bar and Grill and Hockeytown Cafe our two good sports to get drinks before and after a game. The Hockeytown Cafe is great if you like the sports bar mode and Elwood has some good appetizers. There are also around a dozen or so other bars right by the stadium.
Artifacts to look for at Comerica Park?
There is the great bengal tiger mascot statue which you must get a picture in front of. The Tigers have retired baseball numbers for Charlie Gehringer (#2), Hank Greenberg (#5), Al Kaline (#6), Manager Sparky Anderson (#11), Hal Newhouser (#16), Willie Horton (#23), and of course Jackie Robinson (#42). There is a statue honoring the great TY Cobb but no number since he didn't wear a number back then.
Dealing with scalpers at Comerica Park?
There are scalpers but they tend to be fraudulent or really raise the face value of the tickets. I don't mind talking with them and haggling down but if they wont budge on the price go to the next one and try it with them and use them to barter against each other.
Comerica Park parking?
There is plenty of parking everywhere in the city but I would try to pay more money and park closer so that your car and you are both safe. The lots farther away sometimes aren't looked after and can be broken into or vandalized so pay $10 more and park closer. Parking next to the stadium ranges from $25-$45.
Best restaurants near Comerica Park?
Motor City Brewing Works is a good all american grill that has steaks, chicken, and burgers. NIkki's pizza is a good little local joint that has some tasty pies. There is also Greektown pretty close by that has tremendous gyros.
Comerica Park seating?
I like sitting in the outfield because it is your best bang for the buck and you are close to the Little Caesars and can see the whole field. The next best choice is to sit along the first base line so you can be blocked out from the sun during hot days (which are rare).
Safety at Comerica Park?
Detroit is a sketchy US city to say the least. However, they have cleaned up the areas around the stadium quite a bit in recent years. I would just stay close to the stadium and entertainment streets when coming to a game, especially at night. When you are driving don't stop and talk to the homeless or people in groups.
Directions to Comerica Park?
Comerica Park is in downtown Detroit where all the other sports stadiums (except the palace of auburn hills) are. It is very accessible via freeways, with several going into downtown Detroit and gets you right to the Park.
What to expect from the Comerica Park crowd?
The Tigers fans are very laid back and represent your typical Midwestern lifestyle of not getting too uptight. They love their baseball and usually come out to support their team whether they are good or bad. They are very friendly to opposing teams.
