Road Trip to Comerica Park
I was pleasantly surprised that the view
from the seats featured architecturally attractive buildings. Another building
had a very large mural on it for the aquarium, so all in all, aesthetically
enjoyable. Detroit featured the first female field attendants I'd
seen. The concourse features exhibits honoring the many decades of Tiger baseball.
There's a Tiger merry-go-round. The mascot Paws is, of course, a tiger. Good baseball crowd.
Worst beer (to my taste) found at parks: Labatt.
I recommend parking in paid lots - I found one in a basement 1 block east of the
main entrance. Getting out requires someone who feels confident about driving
if you don't know the area. I followed police instructions, but they sent me
off into the kind of neighborhood you don't want to go to at night, and it was night.
Fortunately I found the freeway and drove south about 40 minutes to a Hampton Inn
where I spent a comfortable night.
