COMERICA PARK<br />

THE SCOREBOARD<br />

One of the newest and most stunning features at Comerica Park is the massive High Definition LED video board in<br />

left field. The Daktronics board measures approximately 48 feet high and 127 feet wide and utilizes the latest in<br />

LED technology, offering excellent clarity and contrast of video images. In addition to the main board, a five-foot<br />

high and 100-foot wide LED display is positioned beneath the main board to provide pitcher statistics and other<br />

<strong>information</strong>. The state-of-the-art technology continues on top of the board with a script Tigers logo which utilizes<br />

LED technology to allow the lettering to change color and be animated for special events throughout the season.<br />

FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT<br />

In the middle of the food court, a merry-go-round is available for the young and young-at-heart, with patrons riding<br />

atop tigers instead of horses. Behind the “Brushfire Grill” barbecue area stands a baseball-themed ferris wheel.<br />

The stunning fountain above center field synchronizes music and light to spraying fountains of water.<br />

SEATING LEVELS AND CAPACITIES<br />

There are approximately 23,000 seats in the lower bowl of Comerica Park and 2,000 in the two suite levels. There<br />

are roughly 11,000 in the main upper deck. From just past first base to the right-field foul line there is a section with<br />

4,000 seats that does not have a suite level. The upper deck in this level is approximately 15 feet lower and closer<br />

to the field than the main upper deck.<br />

PREMIUM SEATING AREAS<br />

Comerica Park features four premium seating areas. Located at the upper rows of the lower bowl, the Tiger Den<br />

resembles the fashionable boxes at old-time sporting venues with movable chairs. A private lounge is available for<br />

patrons. The first five rows of the upper bowl have been designated as club seats, and patrons have access to the<br />

Club Lounge. Another premium seating area is located in the lowest rows of the lower bowl, called On-Deck Circle<br />

seats. Additionally, there are two levels of suites, which includes several party suites that are available for individual<br />

game rental.<br />
