Have you been to a Detroit Tigers game or concert this summer?

If not, you might be wondering where to eat before heading to the venue.

If you have, you already know Comerica Park is a culinary hotspot.

Why? Because Comerica Park now offers an array of unique dining options far beyond the usual hot dogs and beer.

Both Detroit fans and visitors can savor delicious and themed food items from local favorites like SLOWS BAR BQ, Marrow, Detroit Water Ice, Voyager, Smashburger, and more.

“It’s exciting to bring in what fans love outside the park. Our great partnerships allow us to offer fantastic cuisine here, making for a terrific season,” says Mark Szubeczak, executive chef at Comerica Park.
