Because someone or some company still holds the rights to the likeness of the stadium.
Like Ebbets field, I'd bet the Ebbets family is a major pain in the "you know what" to deal with.

Well in the actual City, we called it Tiger Stadium or The Corner. Comerica is the CoPa, and as nice as it is, would never be considered a replacement or referenced to Tiger Stadium. Unless you meant the Tigers' (possessive) Stadium, which I don't believe you did, being the stadium historian you seem to be.

It really is baffling. I understand Curahee, with naming rights. Those are a HUGE pain in a lot of ways. But in the case of a park like Tiger Stadium, wouldn't those rights belong to the Detroit Tigers? If so, with SCEA having a partnership with MLB, it seems odd that they wouldn't be able to recreate it.

The only other block I could see is an issue with the architectural firm that designed the stadium.

Is there something I'm missing?

Michael Jackson is worm food by now....
Try slapping his face on a jar of BBQ sauce and selling it.
You might get a few phone calls from Dershowitz and Klein.

Yeah!...about $200,000 for the rights!

When it comes to rights, somebody has to be paid. Not only that, but SCEA has to take the time to create a brand new stadium. If they are unable to create new stadia for open and closed roofs, I don't know how much time they have for Tiger Stadium.
