Detroit — An opportunity exists for the Tigers and for Comerica Park.
They can make Detroit’s big league shrine special and distinctive. They can turn it into a conversation piece whenever America’s best ballparks are discussed.
They can do this by allowing landscape experts to conceive an outfield backdrop — think Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Camden Yards — with terracing or whatever creative design architects in their genius might imagine. There are brilliant people out there, guaranteed, who would have ideas both affordable and transformative.
I know, because 15 years ago I consulted such people and showed some of their work to Gary Vitto, then a Tigers executive who a year later passed away.
