When I visited the place in '93, I wondered why they hadn't torn it down years before. Just about every seat has an obstructed view and feels too tight to sit in. As a 5'9, 150 pounder, I was barely able to fit in a seat that seemed like it was built for midgets. But, I've heard rave reviews about Comerica Park and I'm sure it's a much more pleasant place to be in. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #2724 • Back to Topics 4181 reads

Countless childhood memories of going to the ballpark with your father, sitting way up in the center field upper deck bleachers on a hot summer day and watching the team press onward toward 100 losses season after season. All of the things you mentioned only added to the charm...unless you got screwed with the obstructed view tickets! That said...I like Comerica Park, but as of yet there is not the personal connection like there is to Tiger Stadium. This can be overcome with time and a winning team would help -------------------------------------------------------- Go Tigers!!! -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #2727 • Back to Topics 4180 reads
