Chevy Readies for MLB’s Opening Day by Bringing ZR2 to Comerica Park
Detroit Tigers and Chevrolet team up again to support Chevy’s hometown and America’s pastime, plus show off some hot new rides.
Chevrolet and the Detroit Tigers are getting ready for Major League Baseball’s opening day on March 29 by placing this year’s showcase vehicles atop the fountain at Comerica Park. An all-new 2018 Traverse High Country and a 2018 Colorado ZR2 will sit high above the Chevrolet Fountain behind center field for the coming baseball season. Chevrolet has sponsored the fountain, which features an array of water displays and the sound of a tiger growling after each Detroit home run, for the last nine seasons.
“We are proud to continue the tradition of showcasing Chevrolet vehicles in the center field fountain at the home of the Detroit Tigers,” says Paul Edwards, U.S. V.P., Chevrolet Marketing. “This year, we have chosen to display the all-new Traverse High Country and the Colorado ZR2 because they are among the most versatile and capable vehicles in the Chevrolet lineup, and we know that they are tough enough to withstand the unpredictable Michigan weather.”

Because every Chevrolet product endures rigorous testing before it ever hits the road, nothing special needed to be done to ensure the display vehicles can endure the range of weather conditions that occur during a Detroit baseball season. Each Chevrolet vehicle spends 200 hours in the Climatic Wind Tunnel, which is specifically designed to simulate extreme weather conditions.
