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

The Comerica Park playoff record prior to this season was set on October 7, 2013, in Game 3 of the ALDS, when 43,973 spectators 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.
