With a seating capacity of 41,681, this stadium has been Detroit’s home field since 2000, when it replaced an earlier facility. Innovations abound at every-inch of this ballpark, said to be one of the most pitcher-friendly and batter-friendly ballparks in the country. In centerfield you’ll see “Liquid Fireworks,” a fountain synchronized to music which changes colored lights to celebrate the home team’s home runs. Over to the left of centerfield’s wall is “Monument Park,” which features six stainless steel statues of the city’s greatest ballplayers. Each athlete’s likeness is perched atop a granite pedestal in an action stance.
Over by third base is the Brushfire Grill, an open air picnic area that offers grilled ballpark food and features a nearby fountain with a giant baseball floating above it, as well as the 50-foot Fly Ball Ferris Wheel. The latter features baseball shaped cars that seat up to five people. On the main concourse is the "Walk of Fame," a baseball history installment that spans from the 1800s to the present, with time marked by six large "decade bats." The Big Cat Food Court is near the ballpark’s main entrance and offers a wide variety of food choices and beverages, everything from frozen daiquiris to Chicago style hot dogs. At the base of the food court and behind the first base area there is a beautiful hand-painted carousel to appeal to the child in every baseball fan.
There are also five shops that sell the home team’s merchandise that stay open even on non-game days. The stadium also one of Detroit’s premiere outdoor concert venues, having hosted concerts by pop giants like Dave Matthews Band, Eminem, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna.
