Baseball Stadium Tour 2017 - Comerica Park

The last stop of our summer baseball stadium tour was Comerica Park in Detroit. This was another one that we wanted to hit this year. Based on where we were coming from it made sense.

When we got tickets, we also bought parking for one of the parking garages ($25) which was literally right across the street. Getting in and out of downtown Detroit was a breeze -- if you don't count the construction and out dated GPS. So much so that the hubby said he knows why Packer fans flock to Detroit for the Packer/Lion game.

Ford Field is right next store

Comerica Park is a mix of old and new. It's family friendly with a baseball Ferris Wheel and Tiger carousel.

The history of the Tigers is displayed on poles around the main concourse and statues in the outfield. I love going to these parks and seeing how the team's history is displayed because baseball is just not today or yesterday but the history of some of these teams span decades upon decades.

While on this current Stadium Tour, I've seen racing pierogies and now in Detroit racing cars. Unlike the T-Rats that have mini cars, these were people dressed up as cars -- most of them were Chevy's I think. Then there was the Dunkin Donut Race on the scoreboard.

We signed up for the designated driver program and got a free soda. For lunch we got $6 hot dog meals -- a hot dog, mini soda, and a bag of chips. Plus we had our free sodas for later. I was getting pretty sick of hot dogs but these weren't bad. It was nice they offered lemonade along with the usual Pepsi products especially since I don't drink much soda and don't like Pepsi. We could have had Little Caesar's Pizza but we get that at home.

This was the first game in three days that did not have a rain delay and second in six days if you count the Babe Ruth World Series. It was also an inter-league game since the Dodgers were in town. I always find it interesting to watch the National League have a DH when at an American League park but it's more interesting to see these American League pitchers try to bat.

Comerica Park is very nice park. We would definitely go back especially since it's so easy to get to. I'm glad the hubby has decided to start this adventure of checking out all the ball parks because besides being on the bucket list, it is always fun to see where other team's play -- especially ones that are relatively close to home.
