Fair point, I just wish Comerica felt more like a ballpark than a baseball theme park, with the ferris wheel, carousel, video boards and constant in-game entertainment. I prefer the classic atmosphere, like Wrigley or Fenway and the bandbox feel of Tiger Stadium was unique, while CoPa is very generic.
