DETROIT – It’s official: The script “Tigers” on above the scoreboard at Comerica Park in Detroit has been replaced with the stadium’s name.
In past seasons, the top of the scoreboard featured a cursive “Tigers” that could change from the team’s colors to actual tiger stripes.
Even after the Tigers increased the size of the video board last year, the script “Tigers” remained.
But now, that sign has been replaced by the name of the ballpark: “Comerica Park” in white lettering.
The Tigers start the regular season on Thursday, March 27, 2025, in Los Angeles against the World Series champion Dodgers. They won’t actually play their first home game until the following Friday, April 4.
Here is a statement from the Tigers:
The Tigers sign that previously sat atop the videoboard at Comerica Park had reached its mechanical end of life. With the added branding and video capabilities that have been created by the new videoboard, the sign will revert to its original display of the ballpark’s name, as is customary throughout ballparks in Major League Baseball.
