Detroit Tigers: Changes at Joker Marchant Stadium
Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida has been the Spring Training home of the Detroit Tigers since 1965. It is also home to Tiger Town and the Lakeland Flying Tigers, the Class A affiliate that plays in the Florida State League. Lakeland, Florida and the Detroit Tigers have the longest relationship between a team and a town in the MLB. To keep the Tigers coming to Lakeland, the city is investing money into major renovations at Tiger Town. These upgrades are needed as more fans make the trek to sunny Florida to get close to their favorite Tigers.
