Comerica Park
Detroit, MI · Stadium
Comerica Park keeps its bag rule tight, and it is about size rather than clear plastic. The only bag that gets in is a single-compartment wallet or clutch no larger than 4 by 6 by 1.5 inches, with or without a handle, and it does not have to be clear at that size. Backpacks are banned, and anything bigger than that small clutch is turned away unless it is a diaper bag or a medical bag, which may be up to 16 by 16 by 8 inches. The downtown Detroit ballpark applies this to Tigers games and to its concerts, and it has added recording glasses to the prohibited list. A tour can tighten the rules further, so check your event page before you head to Woodward Avenue. Bottom line, a palm-size clutch, a diaper bag, or a medical bag is the way in, and a backpack stays in the car.
