Tiger's Stadium

The stadium was first opened on April 20, 1912.  The Tiger’s stadium was originally called Navin Field at first (after team owner Frank Navin), the ballpark changed its name to Briggs Stadium in 1938 and finally to Tiger Stadium in 1961.  Now this park is known as Comerica Park as it is home to the Detroit Tiger’s American League team.  The park was named after Comerica Bank as its headquarters paid a huge amount of money for the name change.   However, within all these name changes, the stadium was also used for the Detroit lion’s football team back then.  After a while, it was decided that the Stadium was home to the Tigers and the Lions would play at the Silver dome (which in time they changed their location again and today play right next door to the stadium at Ford Field).  Another interesting fact I found was that the Tiger’s stadium was the last park in the American League to install its’ lights back in 1948.  Over the years, there have been a few modifications to improve our park for its players and guests.  Comerica Park is a great place to go and catch a Tiger’s game with family or friends.  Its location is right in Downtown, Detroit, as the drive is worth the while.  The stadium also hosts a firework show on Friday and Saturday evenings after the game has ended.  At the Park, you could enjoy “The famous ball-park hot dogs” as you sit back and enjoy the game.  No matter where you sit at the stadium, you will enjoy yourself (I have been there multiple times and no matter where I sit, I end up having a blast).  Now that our Tigers have won in our Division and are going to the playoffs the Stadium is a place you should definitely go and see!
