LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Tigers will have extended netting at Comerica Park for the upcoming season. That much has been known for a while. Now that the details have been released, what's new is how many seats the netting will protect, and how close to clear the netting will be.
It's clear enough that many fans watching from behind might not even notice.
The Tigers announced on Tuesday that they will extend the netting down the first- and third-base lines, protecting both infield and outfield box seats. And it will be a new, thinner netting that will preserve the sight lines.
