What about WJR field? Good post. This is incredible. I have always been a Tigers fan and when they sucked, I didn't want to go, what was the point. Now, I am trying to fit the game into my schedule. Winning does wonders. And this team kind of reminds me of the Pistons cause the players all have pretty cool personalities. Harwell Park, that could work. What about WJR field?

Lets say that they averaged 38 thousand per game in June/July and 34.5 thousand per game in September. That would be 836,000 in June/July and 483,000 in September. A total of 1,319,000 people in those three months. They have 45 games in April, May, and August. If they average 30,688.9 people during those months they will be at exactly 2.7 million. Basically I repeat with high expectations all season IF the team stays competitive I think they will top 2.7 million. Last season they averaged 34.5 thousand per game in September.

What will hurt them though is that they only have 22 home dates total in June and July, 2 of their biggest months. Meanwhile there are 14 home tilts in September, with even there being a pennant chase saw a drop-off in attendance last year. It's just harder when the kids are in school.

Its going to take several sellouts given the likely lower attendance in April again, but if they can get out of April averaging around 30,000 I think its a lock if they stay competitive.

I picked up a few packages this morning. I have a single bleacher seat for the full season, that I won't use very often if anyone ever wants to get in cheap. BTW, I think you want to take the $ out of the headline, Billfer. Make that 17,835. I picked up a few packages this morning.

I'd bet that both Comerica and Tigers want to keep the name, although for different reasons. fyi -- Comerica predecessor was founded in Detroit 158 years ago yesterday.

This is pie-in-the-sky, but wouldn't it be great if the Tigers found a way to forfeit the corporate $ and rename Comerica Park "Harwell Park"?
