I just got an e-mail from 'Duk of Big League Stew, telling me that their Big Ballpark Review series will focus on Comerica Park this week, and he's looking for some good suggestions and recommendations from readers. I figure you guys would be much better than me at this, as most of my recent trips to the CoPa haven't been very adventurous.
So far, BLS has reviewed PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Progressive Field in Cleveland, Rogers Centre in Toronto, Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, and Wrigley Field in Chicago.
Here's what 'Duk is looking for:
What's the best way to get there? (Car, public transportation, kayak, etc.)
What are the best spots to hit before or after the game? (Bars, restaurants, local attractions, museums)
What's the best concession stand item in the park? Why? (Don't be afraid to release your inner food critic. What makes the hot dog rule over the pizza?)
Where's the best place to sit? (Let us know about good deals, most bang for buck, etc.)
What's the one thing you like about the park more than anything else? What makes it feel like home to you? What makes you feel like it's the best place in the bigs to catch a game? (It's an open-ended question, but it's designed that way ... tell us what you really think.)
You don't have to stick rigidly to these categories, however. If there's something about Comerica Park or the surrounding area that you think is worth touting, send that in, as well. You can submit your suggestions to bigleaguestew@yahoo.com.
Don't wait too long to send in your thoughts. The BBR on Comerica Park will run on Wednesday. And if you're quoted in the article, we'll give you a chance to beat your chest here at BYB.
