PLAYING FIELDThe playing field measures 102,000 sq. ft. of natural turf. The turf is a single variety of Kentucky Bluegrass. The single cultivar is called Moonlight. We mow it every day during the growing season. On game days, it is double cut and takes five hours to mow. The mowing height is 1 inch both on the infield and outfield. Underneath the grass is 10 inches 100 % USGA spec sand, beneath that layer is a 4 inch layer of pea stone. Beneath the pea stone is a geotextile fabric separating it from the subgrade material and then miles of trenched drain tile throughout the entire playing field. The sand in our root zone drains water at the rate of 14 inches per hour. The infield skin area (soil area) is considered a silt loam soil. It is more forgiving than the mound and plate area and allows the ball to take a softer hop. The mound and plate area are more firm to withstand the cleats of the hitters and pitchers landing and twisting in the same area over and over for long periods of time, they are considered clay soils by definition.
PROMOTIONAL ITEMS/DATESPromotional items have individual restrictions (e.g. first 10,000 guests, ages 14 and under, etc.) and dates and items are subject to change without prior notice. A game ticket does not ensure nor entitle the holder to a promotional item. Only one item will be distributed per person. Guests MUST be present to receive a giveaway item. Giveaway items are one per person, NOT one per ticket. Please be considerate of Comerica Park event colleagues and do not put them in an awkward position by asking that they break these policies. Check the Detroit Tigers Promotions and Giveaways schedule to verify games involving giveaways or special events.
