Comerica Park, Detroit

An open-air ballpark in metro Detroit with an unusual southeastern orientation, Comerica Park has been the home of the Tigers since 2001. The park is large, but narrow foul areas and a foreshortened power alley in right make it an overall benefit to hitters, especially left-handed ones. The park features an all-dirt 'keyhole' strip from pitcher to plate, and a flagpole in left that was once in play but has been behind the fence since 2003. A center-field fountain erupts for Tiger home runs, which are plentiful. The 365-foot right center alley is the most attractive fence for hitters, with the death valley of a 420-foot center the consolation prize if they miss. In keeping with its lefty-friendly lines, the park is 345 down the left-field line, but only 330 down the right.

Wind direction is averaged to the nearest cardinal point and adjusted to ballpark orientation. Wind descriptions are provided using the Beaufort Standard Scale of wind terminology, ranging from 'still air' to 'hurricane' force. Park Factor is calculated differently by different analysts. Our Park Factor summary formula uses the mean of runs scored and home runs hit per game at home vs away, where 100 would be a perfectly-average park.
