3 changes to Comerica Park we’d love to see Detroit Tigers make in 2022

2. Move the bullpen to right-center field, insert seats in left

The right-center field at Comerica Park is like the shirt in your closet that never gets worn, yet we refuse to move on from it. Not only are the dimensions difficult (365 before it bumps out further) but also the height of the wall is substantial to where robbing a home run is impossible.

That natural expansion of the field feels like a great space to move the bullpens, which would also help smooth out the centerfield move as well.

What to do with the current bullpen, then? Give the fans a more intimate experience and insert seats there; allowing a kid to catch a home run instead of a bullpen catcher. A shocking number of home runs currently end up in the home and visitor’s bullpens. Of course, more seating would mean more potential for revenue for the organization as well, which may help to bind the financial with the emotional.
