Tigers announce Comerica Park will become Fifth Third Park in 2027
Detroit's 26-year-old stadium gets a new name after Fifth Third Bank's acquisition of Comerica.
What to know
- Comerica Park, the Tigers' home since 2000, will be renamed Fifth Third Park starting in the 2027 season following Fifth Third Bank's February 2026 acquisition of Comerica.
- The name change is a branding update only — the stadium ownership and Tigers' tenancy remain unchanged; the Detroit-Wayne County Stadium Authority continues to own the ballpark.
- The 2026 season will be the final year the stadium operates under the Comerica Park name, marking the end of a 26-year identity.
“Fifth Third and Comerica completed their merger in February. The companies are now operating as one organization, with Fifth Third gradually replacing the Comerica brand across the combined business.”
