The stadium’s new bread-free sandwiches are built differently

The Tigers' home opener takes place in Detroit on Friday, April 4, when the Tigers play against the Chicago White Sox. Regardless of who wins, fans are rewarded for showing out with a refreshed food and drink menu from Tigers’ food and beverage partner Delaware North Sportservice.

Comerica Park is celebrating its 25th anniversary and with that, the Tigers have rolled out several improvements that they’re hoping will improve the ballpark experience. Upgrades include improved Tiger Den seating, semi-private loge box seating, and the installation of the Tigers Home Plate Club VIP area behind home plate with 350 luxury seats equipped with heating and cooling abilities, with plans for a bar and restaurant situated underneath the stadium. Expected to be completed this summer, Home Plate Club and loge-box ticket holders will have exclusive access to the space. Take note that access to this section comes at a price. According to the Detroit News, seats in the Tigers Home Plate section start at $200 a game, or $16,200 for the season.

As for food and drink options, Delaware North Sportservice continues to pay homage to metro Detroit’s dining scene, with a variety of local favorites, from juicy smash burgers and hefty barbecue sandwiches to bread-free jerk chicken and mango sandwiches wrapped in leafy greens. Here’s what Comerica Park has to offer for the 2025 season.

New Menu Options

Here’s what’s new for 2025 at Comerica Park.

Smash Burgers: Comerica Park has gone all in on the smash burger hype and has partnered with Fraser-based Fairway Packing, which unveiled a smash burger at nearby Little Caesars Arena in time for the current Red Wings season. The folks at Fairway worked with Delaware North to come up with a proprietary blend of brisket, short rib, and chuck. Each smash burger features two super thin patties, along with American cheese, diced onions, and special sauce, all on a Martin’s roll. [Where to find: Big Cat Court, Section 119]

Chickpea Power Bowl: Rice, chickpeas, tabouleh, garlic sauce, hummus, and pita chips, with an add-on chicken option. Available at the Shawarma section. [Where to find: Big Cat Court, Section 119]

The smash burgers at Comerica Park are made with a blend of three cuts of beef.

Slows Bar BQ: Corktown stalwart barbecue spot Slows is getting more of a presence in the stadium this year by offering its line of popular sandwiches.
