COMERICA PARK STATUES
Comerica Park features larger-than-life sculptures of six Tigers legends that

Charlie Gehringer, Hank Greenberg, Willie Horton, Al Kaline and Hal Newhouser.
They were designed by sculptor Omri Amrany and were cast in stainless steel.
Gate A features a sculpture of legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster Ernie Harwell to
greet fans as they enter Comerica Park.

The Tiger Club, open on a membership basis, features approximately 20,000
square feet of entertaining space. There is seating for 300 overlooking the playing
field in right field, a bar for 200, a cigar bar and banquet facility.

The Champions Club, open on a membership basis, combines the perks of luxury
seating with an open and relaxed lounge atmosphere. The Champions Club

on a grand scale. Among the features are immense 80-foot high baseball bats
framing the gates, tiger sculptures and Pewabic tile accents.
FANTASTIC FIREWORKS
Not only is Comerica Park known for explosive action on the field, but also explosive action in the skies above.
Beginning shortly after the park opened in 2000, fantastic fireworks displays have been held on select weekends
throughout the season, adding unrivaled value and fun to an already exciting product.
