That centerfield is so gigantic, it makes Old Comiskey seem pedestrian in comparison.

Will never forget the old Tigers' Stadium with that flag pole in the field of play out there around 440ish where it kind of went into a triangle/cutout.

The original Comiskey dimensions were something like 20 feet deeper to CF than Comerica is.

Comerica is a really shitty park, change my mind.

Juan Gonzalez agrees with you.

As a fan, it's not bad.   Still prefer the overhangs/second decks in the old stadium, even though it was located in a not so good area of the city.   That park had character, pretty sure they filmed most of the scenes from THE NATURAL there.    The recently outdated Rangers' stadium was a bit reminscent with the outfield decking.

The coolest was hitting balls onto the roof (Cecil Fielder) and the high pop-ups into the outfield that would get caught in the overhang in the first or second row when it should have been a routine fly ball.

 

The only thing that's cool is the merry go round and then the city skyline backdrop over the outfield wall//Ford display models and that plastic Tigers' statue out there.

Yep, been there plenty of times, pretty bad site lines all around imo.  Only good thing about the park is how they oriented with the skyline, which is nice.

That is my favorite thing about the park as well.  We had 10th row dugout seats once, and it was like being at the top of the 100 level in terms of where we were oriented to the field.

McCann got crossed up....what the heck happened there?  Waiting for a breaking ball and got the high heat.   Fooled the batter, too.

Then he was flinching a bit from the swing and didn't get the ball to first quickly enough.

 

Still waiting for a totally clean White Sox game defensively.
