In Game
Comerica Park was built as part of a downtown revitalization plan for the city of Detroit, and the park has done just that. Comerica Park has given an already loyal fan base even more of a reason to love their team. The Tigers did an excellent job of building a park that offers not only great sightlines but also a beautiful view of downtown Detroit.
What Comerica Park lacks in history, it more than makes up for it with its number of amenities and tributes to Tigers legends. All around the park you’ll see tributes to past Tigers greats including Ty Cobb and Al Kaline and there are tons of other things to check out at the game including a Ferris Wheel and carousel.
To top it all off, Comerica Park is home to some great food vendors as well. Here you’ll find a wide array of culinary options including a Coney quesadilla, fried-jalapeno-topped deviled eggs on bacon, and pork belly bacon just to name a few.
Comerica Park offers it all including lots of amenities, tons of historical displays, and some great concessions placing Comerica Park near the top of the list of ballparks that fans must visit.
Things to check out

Tiger Hats
The Tigers home cap is one of the most recognizable in all of baseball, particularly because it has barely changed over the years. The simplistic, navy blue hat with a white English D has been the symbol for Detroit fans everywhere; they don’t need or want any cartoonish gimmicks for a logo. They’re classic, genuine, old school baseball fans through and through.
Tiger Growling/Eyes Light Up
Whenever the Tigers score a run, the sound of a tiger growling is played throughout Comerica Park, and the two tiger statues on the scoreboard have eyes that light up.

Eye of the Tiger
Played at key moments throughout the game including as a rally-starter. When the song is being played, take a look at the Tiger’s eyes on the scoreboard; they light up!
Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to surviveSo many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them aliveIt’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tigerFace to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to surviveIt’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tigerRising up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to surviveIt’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tigerThe eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Don’t Stop Believing
Just a small town girl
Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin’ anywhereA singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on[Chorus]
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the nightWorking hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on[Chorus]
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlights, peopleDon’t stop believin’
Hold on
Streetlight peopleDon’t stop believin’
Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlight people
