Located in the heart of Downtown Detroit, Comerica Park has been the home of the Detroit Tigers since 2000, replacing the historic Tiger Stadium. This open-air ballpark sits at 2100 Woodward Avenue, a 10-minute walk from landmarks like Ford Field and Little Caesars Arena.

The first game at Comerica Park took place on April 11, 2000, with the Tigers defeating the Seattle Mariners 5-2. Designed as part of a revitalization effort in the City of Detroit, the stadium features a main entrance near the iconic Fox Theatre and is adorned with tiger statues, including a 15-foot sculpture outside the gate.

Comerica Park offers 41,083 seats and has seen record-breaking crowds, including 45,280 fans for a game against the Chicago White Sox in 2008. It’s playing field includes a dirt strip (keyhole) from home plate to the pitcher’s mound, a distinguishing feature rare in modern ballparks. The outfield dimensions are 412 feet to center field, 342 feet to left field, and 330 feet to right field, making it one of the more pitcher-friendly parks in Major League Baseball.

Since 1998, Comerica Bank, a financial services company, has held the stadium’s naming rights, extending its agreement through 2034. The park is also known for its fan-friendly atmosphere, featuring a Ferris wheel, a beer hall, and liquid fireworks above the top of the scoreboard to celebrate home runs and victories.

Standard Seating Options at Comerica Park

Field Level Seats

For fans looking to sit close to the action, Field Level seats provide some of the best views at Comerica Park. 

Infield Box seats (Sections 118-137) offer prime sightlines, with Sections 120-135 known as On-Deck Circle Seats, putting fans just behind home plate. Tigers fans will want to sit in Sections 131-136, directly behind the home dugout, while Sections 120-124 are located behind the visitors’ dugout. 

Ticket prices range from $60 to $140, making these seats a premium yet accessible choice.

For a more budget-friendly Field Level experience, Lower Baseline and Outfield Box seats (Sections 113-115 & 138-143) offer a mix of great views and affordability. 

Right field sections benefit from shade during late afternoon games and a clear view of the main scoreboard, while left field sections deal with direct sun exposure and a difficult scoreboard angle. 

Fans looking for foul ball opportunities should sit in the first few rows of Sections 116-117 and 138-140.

Mezzanine Level Seats

Located down the right-field line above Field Level, Mezzanine seats (Sections 210-219) provide a mid-level view of the game, with lower rows in Sections 216-219 offering a direct look at the main scoreboard and a clear view into the Tigers’ dugout. 

Ticket prices range from $20 to $60, making this one of the best value seating options at Comerica Park.

Fans sitting in Sections 210-212 will have a better infield view than Sections 215-216, as these sections are angled more directly toward the field. Mezzanine seats also offer quick access to restrooms, and with the sun behind them for evening games, they are a comfortable choice for long summer afternoons.

Pavilion Level Seats

The Left Field Pavilion (Sections 144-151) is an exciting spot for home run balls, as these seats sit directly behind the bullpens––with the Tigers bullpen near Sections 147-148 and the visitors bullpen near Sections 149-150. 

Prices in this section range from $20 to $200, depending on the game and seat location.

While these seats provide an up-close look at relief pitchers warming up, they also come with direct sun exposure, especially during afternoon and early evening games. Additionally, the main scoreboard is located behind these sections, meaning fans will need to turn around to see replays and in-game stats.

Upper Level Seats

For fans seeking the most affordable tickets, Upper Level seating (Sections 321-345) offers a range of experiences with tickets priced between $15 and $50. 

The Upper Box Infield seats (Sections 321-337) provide the best upper deck views, with Sections 321-324 offering clear sightlines of the scoreboard and third-base sections featuring a spectacular view of the downtown Detroit skyline. 

The first five rows in these sections are Club Seats, featuring padded bottoms and extra width for added comfort.

Sections 344-345 are known as Skyline Seats, providing a stunning backdrop of Downtown Detroit. However, keep in mind that shade is limited, and the sun can be intense for day games.

Accessibility at Comerica Park

Accessible seating is available throughout the ballpark, including sections behind home plate (125-130) for guests with visual impairments. 

Wheelchair-accessible seating is spread across all levels, and companion seating is provided.

Standing Room Only & Rooftop Bleachers

Standing Room Only

Comerica Park offers some of the best standing room options in Major League Baseball. 

The right-center field porch and walkway are among the most popular spots, providing fantastic sightlines of the game. 

Another prime location is directly behind home plate, in front of the box seats. 

These areas fill up quickly, so arriving early is key. Once you secure a spot, stay put, as leaving for food or restrooms means risking your view.

Pepsi Porch & Bleacher Seating

While Comerica Park doesn’t have traditional rooftop bleachers, the Pepsi Porch in right field serves as a modern alternative. 

This section includes bleacher seating in the upper rows (Rows V and higher), while lower rows have traditional stadium chairs. The area also features high-top tables, a bar, lounge chairs, and even a fire pit, making it one of the most social spots in the stadium. 

Whether standing or sitting, fans in the Pepsi Porch enjoy a unique game-day experience with great views.

Best Shaded Seats at Comerica Park

If you’re looking for shaded seats at Comerica Park, the best options are behind home plate, along the first base line, and in covered Pavilion sections at field level. 

Seats in the lower deck behind home plate offer great sun protection, especially in the higher rows where the stadium’s overhang provides shade. 

The first base line becomes shaded later in the afternoon as the sun sets behind it, making it a comfortable option for day games. 

Many Pavilion seats at field level are also covered, keeping fans cool throughout the game. 

Infield Reserved seats tend to stay shaded for most of the game, while the Budweiser Rooftop offers another shaded option with a social atmosphere. 

To be sure you’re covered, check your ticket details, as it will indicate whether the seat is under an overhang or shaded.

Best Value Seats at Comerica Park

Best Value for Cheapest Price

For the most affordable tickets, Upper Grandstand seats (Sections 338-345) offer some of the cheapest options while still providing a fun atmosphere. Skyline Seats (Sections 344-345) also give fans a spectacular view of the downtown Detroit skyline, making them a great low-cost option.
