You know how some buildings don't have a "floor 13" or airplanes don't have "row 13" b/c it's considered unlucky. Well - not sure if you realized that Tiger Stadium doesn't have a Gate 13. There IS a gate where Gate 13 should be - It's the Visitor's Entrance. Yes - this was by design.

Never heard that before!!! Honestly, thanks for that bit of trivia. I'm going to plagiarize the shite out of that with my family and friends.

There are also two Gate 12's. I feel like that is cheating.

Reminds me of the old Mitch Hedburg joke about buildings with no 13th floor.

out of curiosity, where is the other gate 12? I've used gate 12 to enter the stadium since I was 6 years old, and I'm now 64. I've never noticed another. I see Gate 11 on the right side, and Visitors Gate to it's left. So where might I find it?

Both Gate 12 entrances are side by side. Oddly enough I took this photo earlier today. Gate 12 is our season ticket entrance gate, and I wanted to send out a picture to some people celebrating the start of the season.

Gate 13 is like platform 9 3/4. You just have to run at the wall between 12 and visitors, and you will zip right through. Little known fact: There is free beer inside the gate.
