Before moving to Comerica Park in 2000, the Detroit Tigers spent 88 seasons playing at a stadium on the corner of Michigan and Trumbull Avenues in Detroit’s Corktown neighbourhood. The original stadium opened in 1896 as Bennett Park, until it was rebuilt in 1911 and renamed Tiger Stadium by the Tigers owner Frank Navin. By the mid-1990s, it had become apparent that Tiger Stadium could not be renovated any further. This led to the decision to build a new stadium. Construction on Comerica Park began in October 1997 and the first game was held on April 11th, 2000, against the Seattle Mariners.

The nearest airport to Commercia Stadium is Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) which is approximately 18 miles away. There are several airlines that fly from London to Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) with a flight time of 8-9 hours. Some of the airlines that operate direct flights from London to DTW include Air France, Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic.

If you are already in the US and looking to travel to/from Detroit, then you have the choice of most US domestic airlines including Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, American Eagle, Frontier Airlines, Jet Blue, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airways and WestJet.

The Grand Circus Park station is a 3-minute walk away from the park, and public transportation is available via the Detroit People Mover trains. Guests can also use the QLine at the Montcalm Street station, which is a 5-minute walk from Comerica Park. The bus service is provided by SMART and DDOT. You could also make use of apps such as Moovit to get directions to the arena.

Rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft are also available in the vicinity with a designated pick-up and drop-off area on Clifford between Elizabeth and Columbia and Fisher Freeway.

The Detroit Tigers sell their tickets via mlb.tickets and the MLB Ballpark App.

SeatGeek has replaced StubHub as the official ticket resale partner for MLB.

I recommend downloading the Ballpark App to your phone as it contains a lot of Gameday information for the Ballpark you are visiting and a place to check in and record all the baseball games you have been to.
