The Detroit Tigers may not have made it to the 2011 World Series, but they deserve some recognition!
The Detroit Tigers currently play at Comerica Park, located at 2100 Woodwood Avenue. Comerica Park is an open-air ballpark and replaced the historic Tigers Stadium in 2000. The ballpark was named after the corporate sponsor, Comerica Bank, which was based in Detroit when the park opened and paid for the naming rights. The stadium seats 41,255 fans and the park’s record attendance was 45,010.
The first time I ever visited Comerica Park was actually in the fifth grade for an NSYNC concert with my mom, Katie (my best friend at the time), and Katie’s mom instead of for a Tigers game. That was the first time I had ever been to a ballpark (even if it was for a music concert). I remember being amazed at how unbelievably huge the stadium was, and thinking how hard it would be to see my boy band lovers (good thing the stadium had a big screen to magnify the teenage heart-throbs).
Since the fifth grade, I have only visited the stadium once. This one occasion was in the summer of 2009 to finally go see a Tigers Game. I do not know why I have not gone to Comerica Park to watch more Tigers games, seeing as how I love to watch baseball and I love the Tigers. Being a broke college student may have a lot to do with my lack of attendance at Tigers games but I hope to see more in the future. The reason I went in the summer of 2009 is because my boyfriend found it appalling that I had never been to a Tigers game and bought us tickets.
If you find yourself in Metro Detroit during baseball season,
come check out a Tigers game!
