2008 Attendance Figures
Stadium Information Words like "plain" and "simple" used to describe Joker Marchant Stadium originally finished in 1966. It held 4,900 fans and was built for $360,000. While other stadiums were made of structural steel, Marchant was concrete structure that, unlike steel, would withstand rust. Following renovations in 2002, "cool" and "state-of-the-art" are new adjectives. Some upgrades include: increased seating from 7,040 to 8,500, a cup holder for every seat, wider aisles, and The Berm, which is a grassy, 45-foot slope beyond the fence in left field has been installed for sun worshippers, picnickers and bargain seekers. The Tigers maintain a loyal following. A fan might be playing his harmonica in the stands between innings, and you're guaranteed to hear a strong rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch. The public-address announcer and production crew help make the game as wonderful a day at the park as possible, with an organ playing and familiar tunes likened to Detroit between innings, including songs from the "Beverly Hills Cop" movie soundtrack. The orange-and-blue seat colors also are well reflective of the Tiger history and spirit and the ballpark facade and its exterior -- Mediterranean style is admirable.
