I find a certain sense of irony in the new ballpark rankings released by SI.com, since the long-anticipated demolition of Tiger Stadium will begin shortly. Its replacement, Comerica Park, is ranked the 4th best place to see a ballgame in Major League Baseball. Like anyone who grew up in Detroit I have very fond memories of the old bandbox, but I've grown to appreciate Comerica Park. I've sat all over the park and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. And of course, since they've been one of the best teams in baseball the last few years the atmosphere has been electric.
Congratulations to the Tigers organization. Go Tigers!
