Great looking stadium overall. There were statues of tigers (the animals, not the players) scattered throughout the exterior of the stadium. Seats were decent. $5 beer (at the low end) was available inside the stadium.

Stories from the Road
I woke up early enough the following morning to drive from Milwaukee to Detroit in time to catch the Cornell - Notre Dame Lacross Semifinal game at a bar in Livonia, Detroit that had been advertised on the Cornell Alumni website. I didn't see too many Cornell supporters there so I left midway through the game to go to Tigers stadium. After paying my $10 parking fee, I caught the end of the lacross game in a bar close to Comerica Park (Cornell lost. It's ok. I'm over it.).
The bar was right on a street corner and the floor to ceiling windows allowed a lot of natural light to enter the space. I ended up grabbing a chicken shwarma pita from the bar and bringing it to the stadium. It was messy, but delicious.
