    Home of Major League Baseball's Detroit Tigers, the 40,000-seat Comerica Park opened in 2001 to replace antiquated Tiger Stadium.

    The new ballpark was designed in the style of the old-fashioned ballparks, but has state-of-the-art facilities.

    Tiger fans will appreciate the Walk of Fame on the lower concourse, a timeline spanning decades of Detroit Tiger baseball, and featuring statues of such legendary Tigers as Ty Cobb, Al Kaline, Hal Newhouser, Hank Greenberg, and Charlie Geheringer.

    The trip from Island Lake south to Strawberry Lake is a rather slow, but peaceful paddle.

    From Strawberry Lake south to the Portage Lake Dam you'll be traversing a number of lakes with fairly slow moving river in-between. From the Dam south to Dexter is a combination of shallow river, some light rapids, a few slow moving sections. Dexter to Barton Pond includes a fun little set of rapids at Delhi, fairly slow for the most part.

    From Barton Pond through Ypsilanti's Ford and Belleville lakes you have a series of dams and ponds..

    My favorite section is from the Portage Lake Dam to Delhi, a very nice 3 or 4 hour trip.

    If you're not too fond of waterskiing, speed boat itself can be lots of fun too.

    This curious tank painted like a basketball is visible from I-75 near exit 43, but the Pistons playground in Auburn Hills in definitely not as gloomy as the vicinity of the Detroit River.
    As of May 2007, the Pistons are engaged in the Eastern Conference finals.

    With a capacity of 41,000 spectators, Comerica Park stadium is home to the baseball team of Detroit Tigers and hosted the 2005 All-Star game.
    This renewed sport theater is part of the strategy to revitalize Detroit as a desirable city. Go for it!

    We always make sure to get to a Tiger game. I never thought I would like Comerica Park since I grew up going to Tiger Stadium, but it does have its advantages - I never sit behind a pole is a big one! As they no longer suck, tickets are harder to come by - but there are still people selling them near the ballpark. I usually buy online so I don't know how honest these characters are, however the price of the tickets is listed right on them. I do recommend buying peanuts for a considerably cheaper price before getting inside.

    Once inside (don't bring a bag - it will be searched and will take longer for you to enter), if you would like autographs head toward the third baseline where the infield meets the outfield. Two or three Tigers will sign autographs for around 10-20 minutes. They are particularly good with children and will choose them over any adult. If you create a memorabilia type item, they usually avoid it. My children brought a baseball each and a Sharpie each (a good idea since they got separated in the crowd).

    If you go on a Friday night, you will be treated to a 10-15 minute fireworks show after the game.
