Top 5 things wrong with Comerica Park:
The obvious one - The fences need to be moved in around 10 feet UPDATE: They
have announced that for the 2003 season, the fences will be moved in 20 feet...
Music - the music is really bad. Play live music or organ but that canned rap junk just
doesn't fit at a baseball game
Food - They need some local flair besides Little Poopers and Leos.
Try a Xochimilco stand or Polish Village Cafe stand
Left Field - The left field stands are not steep enough. If you have kids and are sitting
behind someone tall...forget it!
More giveaways - They need to give more stuff to the people who do go to the games
