🎟️Visitor Guide

Best Seats

Lower-bowl seats along the first-base line sit closest to the Tigers dugout. The right-field lower bowl offers a great view of the scoreboard and the Comerica Landing social areas.

Parking Tips

Downtown garages and surface lots are plentiful but surge around first pitch. The Detroit People Mover is a good alternative for avoiding stadium traffic.

Game Day

Check out the giant tiger statues at the entrance and the open concourses that keep the field in view. The outfield social zones are great for a mid-game reset.
