Seating plan of the Comerica Park
Tiger Den
Tiger Den seats are among the most popular and desirable seating options at Comerica Park. These seats offer an elevated view of the field from the infield. Fans will enjoy some of the best views of Tiger baseball while remaining fully under cover.
In addition to fantastic sitelines, all Tiger Den seats are cushioned and come with a small table for food and beverage. In-seat wait service ensures that you will not have to leave your seats for concessions. Ticketholders will have access to the Tiger Den and Club Lounge, along with a private entrance to the ballpark.
On-Deck Circle
Rows 1-13 are part of the On-Deck Circle.
For fans who wish to enjoy the amenities of the Tiger Den seats – but prefer to sit closer to the field – there are the On-Deck Circle seats.These club seats are the first 13 rows of Sections 120-135 and come with access to the Tiger Den and Club Lounge. Ticketholders also receive in-seat wait service and a private entrance to the ballpark.
Upper Box Club Seats
Rows A-F are part of the Upper Box Club Seats.
The Upper Box Club seats are located in the front (lettered) rows of Sections 321-337 on the upper seating tier. Ticketholders will have wider padded seating just below the section entry tunnel, with some of the best sight lines on the upper deck from behind home plate. Though they are listed as club seats, they do not receive any special amenities or privileges (besides for the best views in the upper deck).
Best Seats for Kids and Family at Comerica Park
The Big Cat Food court is one of the best places to visit if you’re bringing the family to a Tigers game at Comerica Park, and to stay close by we recommend searching for tickets in sections 118-120 down the first base line. Unfortunately you won’t find much overhead coverage to provide shade in the middle of the day, however these seats do face towards the east helping to put the sun at your back sooner and also give you a great angle to the videoboard.
- We make dozens of free sports predictions every day.
At the Big Cat Food Court you’ll find a treasure chest of concession options which offer something for just about everyone, picnic style tables, and at the very center of it all you can catch a ride on the old fashioned carousel! Opt for seats in rows 26 and higher and you’ll never be more than a 10 row walk from all the concourse amenities.
The third base side also has a big time attraction with the Fly Ball Ferris Wheel located just above section 132. But for families looking for a stress free day at the ballpark, we recommend sitting a bit closer to home plate (search in sections 128-130) so that you can keep your group safer behind the protective netting. You’ll feel close to the Tigers dugout, and if you stick to rows 31 and higher you’re always just a short walk to and from the seats (no more than 5 rows).
- Find the best odds for sports betting.
Other than the premium Tiger Den and Tiger Terrace seats, there unfortunately aren’t a ton of options for keeping your family out of the midday sun at Comerica Park. However if you can find tickets in rows 38 and higher of sections 112-114, you’ll find some rare coverage and shade thanks to the overhanging Tiger Club structure above the seats. An interactive area with fun tee ball games and a pitch speed booth are just a short walk away (outside section 106), and it also won’t take all that long to get to all the fun of the Big Cat Food Court near section 119.
It is important to note that rows 37 and higher in sections 112-114 are in an upper portion of the section, and as such there is a safety railing just in front of row 37. We recommend avoiding row 37 if bringing your little ones as it may be difficult for them to see clearly to the field.
- New predictions for soccer, tennis, hockey, basketball, etc. are created every hour.
Best Seats for Impressing a Guest at Comerica Park
It’s difficult to find a more impressive spot at Comerica Park than the premium Tigers Den seats located just above the lower level between the dugouts. The seats themselves are some of the most unique in baseball, featuring a wide wooden chair (but still padded) that resembles something you might find on a comfortable backyard patio rather than in a ballpark.
A private table between each pair of seats provides a great spot to place your food and beverage – which you can order and have delivered all while never having to leave your seat. Fans also get excellent overhead coverage providing relief from the weather, and will have access to the upscale Tiger Den club lounge.
- Take a look at the freebets offered by the bookmaker.
The Terrace seats offer a good alternative to the Tigers Den, although with less in the premium amenities department. You won’t get access to the club lounge or have in-seat wait service, but these seats are still very unique with plush padded seating, private tables in front of the seats, excellent coverage, and a smaller seating environment for a more intimate feel.
Among the best options throughout the Terrace are sections 136T-138T as they keep you closer to the Tigers dugout. Just be sure to stick with rows A-G, as there are some seats in the last row (H) which have less than ideal views behind support beams.
- What can you bet on today? The answer is here.
If you’re not all about the premium bells and whistles, consider searching in rows 7-11 of sections 132-134 if you want to leave a lasting impression. These seats get you within 5 rows of the back of the Tigers dugout, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better spot for up-close views of the players as they move about between innings or await their turn at the dish in the on-deck circle. You’ll also get sensational views of the infield, pitchers mound, and a great angle for appreciating the Detroit architecture in the backdrop of right center field.
And while the right field balcony (sections RB1-RB3) might not pop out as being an impressive option for enjoying a Tigers game at Comerica, these seats do provide some unique features which are worth considering. The views of the game will be further, however a ticket here gives fans an office style swivel chair with comfortable mesh backing, personal ledge right in front of the seat, and a large bar area just a few steps away.
- No questions? Place a bet now.
Best Seats for Visiting Team Fans at Comerica Park
Although the tickets will be on the more expensive side, seats in the first four rows of sections 125-126 are some of the very best a visiting fan could ask for during a trip to Comerica Park. Not only do you get a sensational view of home plate, but you’ll feel right behind your favorite players as they warm up in the on-deck circle, and even have a view into the visiting team dugout. Higher numbered seats are closer to the third base side, so opt for the lowest numbered seats to be closer to the dugout.
Another similar option which offers potential views into the dugout can be found in the first 3 rows of section 119 (on the outfield side of the dugout). Higher numbered seats are the way to go here, as seat 16 will have you directly on the left aisle which is closest to the dugout. You may have to peer through the camera man to see the team on the bench, but the experience is still impressive. Viewing angles to the videoboard are excellent, but be aware that these seats will spend a good amount of time in the sun for a day game.
- Follow the link and get your prediction before the match starts.
With the visitors dugout taking up the space where rows 1-6 normally would be found, a seat in row 7 of sections 120-124 will give you the amazing experience of being right behind your favorite players when they’re not on the field. Stick with rows 16 and lower and you’ll never be more than 10 rows away from the top of the dugout. Concourses are located at the top of the sections here, so the one downfall is the lengthier walk to and from the seats.
Should your budget be a bit more generous, we strongly recommend considering the Tigers Den sections as these are among the most unique seats in all of baseball. Large deck-style wooden chairs (don’t worry – the seats are padded) and a table between each seat help provide the ultimate relaxing experience at the ballpark, and most rows here are well covered by the seating deck above. Additional premium benefits include in-seat wait service and access to a club lounge.
- Go to a bookmaker and place your bets right now.
One option which sometimes falls off the radar for visiting team supporters are the seats behind the visitors bullpen out in left center field. A ticket in rows A-C of sections 150 and 151 will have within 3 rows of the bullpen staff as they await the call from the skipper to get loose. You won’t have much of a view of the videoboard and will get a healthy dose of sun for a day game, but you do have a nice angle into the visitors dugout on the first base side.
But if you’re in Detroit for the first time and got priced out of some of the lower tier sections, we recommend searching in the lettered rows of sections 332-334. These are located at the front portion of the section, and offer additional comfort thanks to padded seating. However the reason to sit here are the impressive views of the Detroit skyline in the background of right field. You’ll also just be a quick trip down to Ferris wheel located on the third base side of the lower level.

Best Seats for Great Views of the Field at Comerica Park
When searching for great views of a Tigers game at Comerica Park, you will generally want to stay as close as you can to the middle of the infield. You won’t find many remarkable views beyond the outfield wall, and as the inner seating bowl at Comerica Park is comprised of two main tiers, the very best options will be located on the lower 100 level.
Among the best seats for watching a Tigers game will be in the upper rows of the sections nearest to the dugouts. Sections 132-134 keep you closer to the Tigers dugout on the third base side, while sections 121-123 are near the visitors dugout on the first base side. You could get closer to home plate with a seat in section 124 or 131, but from these two areas you will have to look through the protective netting to watch the batters box.
- Find out which bookmaker you can get a sign-up bonus from.
The lower rows are certainly impressive being so close, however we prefer the upper rows here (26 and higher) for a better viewing height and quicker trips between the concourse and the seats.
The truest of baseball fans will often comment about the incredible views from behind home plate, thanks to the unique ability to follow pitches as they break cross the plate and the way which hits appear to explode off the bat. You can experience this same excitement when sitting in the upper rows of sections 126-129 at Comerica Park, which also gives you clear sight lines to just about every area in the ballpark.
- We make dozens of free sports predictions every day.
The lowest rows here are very shallow to the field level, so we recommend opting for seats in rows 20 and higher to have a much better height for following the action and additional clearance over fans in front.
For a cheaper option with good views on the lower level of Comerica Park, we recommend searching down the left field line in rows 26-35 of sections 114 and 115. These are the first sections which begin to angle back towards the outer edges of the infield, providing good sight lines to the majority of the action. These seats will see a good amount of sun during the early innings of a day game, but will get the sun to their back much sooner than fans down the left field line. The higher rows here (37+) get better overhead coverage, but have an additional railing in front of row 37 and at the sides of the seating rows which can be distracting.
- Find the best odds for sports betting.
Should the budget restrict your search to one of Comerica’s upper seating tiers (200 and 300 levels), you can still find affordable seats with decent views down the first base line. Stick with seats in the lower portion (lettered rows), as seats in the upper portion begin to have a birds eye view and more railings and safety glass to compete with. Rows B-F in sections 321-323 are very good options, with excellent angles to the infield and videoboard, and also provide a padded seat.
Further down the line, consider rows B-F in sections 217-218 which also have good angles to the infield, and actually sit lower to the field than the neighboring 300 level sections closer to home plate. Taller fans can roll the dice with seats in Row A (first row), but with a railing at the front of the section, it is safer to opt with lettered rows B and higher.
- New predictions for soccer, tennis, hockey, basketball, etc. are created every hour.
If you noticed the Tigers Den and Terrace seating sections as being omitted from our recommendations, it is not an indictment on the quality of these seats. They offer the most comfortable and convenient seating options in Comerica Park, and are also great places to find shade for a Tigers game. However as the Tigers Den and Terrace seats are so unique (personal tables, smaller seating areas) and are known to have a plethora of railings (in front of almost every seat), they are a better choice for fans who prefer a relaxing outing over an optimal viewing experience at Comerica.

History
On October 29, 1997, construction started on a $300 million ballpark located on Woodward Avenue in Downtown Detroit. The ballpark, which opened in 2000, replaced Tiger Stadium as the home of the Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball team. The first game was held on cold and snowy April 11, 2000, and the Tigers defeated the Seattle Mariners 5-2.
The ballpark features various family oriented attractions such as a large food court, a baseball themed Ferris wheel and a tiger themed carousel. Comerica Park also features a variety of retail stores with team merchandise for all ages. The Team Store located next to gate B is open year round to the public; all other locations are open on game days only to ticket holders.
Comerica Park’s concourse includes a “walking museum,” which consists of monuments and memorabilia on the Tigers team history. Six of the Tigers greatest players – Willie Horton, Ty Cobb, Charlie Gehringer, Hank Greenberg, Hal Newhouser and Al Kaline – and Ernie Harwell, the legendary announcer, are memorialized in sculpture in the concourse. A gigantic water fountain in center field provides “liquid fireworks” before and after the game and when the Tigers score.
Seating at Comerica Park is very unique, as it does not have upper deck seating in the outfield. Instead, it has been left open to provide a spectacular view of the surrounding downtown skyline. With about 23,000 seats in the lower deck, 2,000 suite seats, 11,000 upper deck seats and 4,000 lower level seats in the outfield, Comerica Park can hold approximately 40,000 fans. Unlike other ballparks, Comerica Park offers a seating area known as the “Tiger Den,” where the seats resemble the boxes at old time baseball games.
Comerica Park is a baseball lover’s dream. With its open air views and its massive center field (420 feet), the ballpark provides each fan an outstanding view of the playing field from any seat level. Every year millions of fans visit Comerica Park to see their favorite team play and hear the roar of the tiger when the Tigers score a run.
