Overview
- The Detroit Tigers and Fifth Third announced on Monday, Sept. 21 that Comerica Park will be renamed Fifth Third Park beginning with the 2027 season.
- Team and bank officials said the change is a naming-rights and branding update only and that stadium ownership and the Tigers’ tenancy will not change.
- Signage and other branding will be updated during the offseason with the new marquee in place for the Tigers’ 2027 home opener on March 25.
- The rename follows Fifth Third’s roughly $10.9 billion acquisition of Comerica and the buyer’s decision to phase out the Comerica corporate identity.
- Local reaction has been mixed, with many fans and social posts expressing nostalgia or derision, and observers noting Fifth Third already sponsors multiple venues, which may create name duplication and local confusion.
