Records are made to be broken and it took just one day for Detroit Tigers fans to break the attendance record at Comerica Park again.

On Wednesday, Tigers fans in downtown Detroit set a postseason attendance record with 44,885 fans in the Comerica Park crowd for Game 3 of the ALDS between the Tigers and Cleveland Guardians.

ON THEIR FEET: ‘It has to be this’: Fans pack Comerica Park hoping to see Tigers clincher

With a trip to the ALCS on the line, Tigers fans upped their game: Thursday night, 44,923 people showed up for Game 4 to rewrite the short-lived record.

It was the first game of the Tigers’ five-game postseason run that started later than 4:08 p.m., and fans were able to take advantage of the later start to cram more people in and create an electric postseason environment.

Comerica Park’s playoff record before this season was set on October 7, 2013, in Game 3 of the ALDS, when an audience of 43,973 attended the Tigers’ 6–3 loss to the Oakland Athletics. Comerica Park’s all-time record is 45,280, set on July 26, 2008, in a 6–7 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
