Workers begin installing new LED lights at Detroit Comerica Park

On Wednesday, workers began installing 472 new LED light fixtures at the Tigers’ ballpark, the latest step in a two-month-long project aimed at upgrading the aesthetics of the 23-year-old ballpark.

In December, helicopters were brought over to Comerica Park to remove the original light fixtures from the stadium’s 16 light towers.

Officials with the Tigers have said the new lights will serve multiple purposes, including creating a better-looking TV broadcast. Energy conservation will be significant, as well.
