As I remember when it was new, the statements being made about these extras, was that they were necessary to draw in fans, especially those with kids. They stated fans were demanding these amenities. Other parks were installing similar things. The Tigers felt they had to have these to compete. Much of that, I think, was a fad going on new parks at the time. Personally, I think as long as you have a winning team on the field, the fans will come.
