They can do something special every time they win or lose 5-3 at least.
Longtime Tiger fans will recognize that as the score of the pivotal game of the 1968 World Series.

It is interesting to think about the generation of fans who know only Dan Dickerson on the radio and Comerica Park, and whose peak Tigers experience was the Leyland/Verlander/Cabrera era. The name change is probably hitting them the hardest.

I've been amused by those on social media that proclaimed "It'll always be Comerica Park to me!", as if that wasn't a bullshit corporate name itself.
