Attached are some snapshots of Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers.
As anyone who has followed our blog already knows, one of our goals as we travel the country is to get to all the Major League Baseball fields for a game or two. So whenever we find ourselves in close enough proximity during baseball season, we build a trip to the nearby park into our visit. Since this summer we have been in Michigan, we made our way to Detroit for a couple of days to watch the Tigers play against the Seattle Seahawks. We drove north to Detroit, about 225 miles, on Wednesday, August 19th in time to catch the evening game, which Seattle won (Seattle 3, Detroit 1). The next day the weather was touch and go with a big storm forecast for the afternoon game, but with only a 6 minute rain delay, the game was played to completion, this time with Detroit the winner (Detroit 7, Seattle 6). Since we aren't from Washington or Michigan, it was easy to root for both sides (although, if truth be told, I am a little partial to Washington State).
It was fun touring Comerica Park, where the Tiger theme is everywhere you turn. Comerica is located in downtown Detroit, and you can see the high rises as you sit and watch the game. You can find a tiger Merry-Go-Round and a baseball Ferris Wheel for the kids to ride, and all the usual assortment of ball park food. We were lucky enough to find veggie burgers (vegan, even!) and veggie dogs to choose from, and fruit bowls and stir fry vegetables and rice were also available. After we had a beer and gorged ourselves with peanuts, we could have stopped right there, but we went with the veggie burgers anyway. We want to do our part to keep the veggie options available, haha!
Next year if we come back to this area we will try to make it to either PNC Park in Pittsburg, or Progressive Field in Cleveland - or maybe both!
