LOCAL Tiger Stadium to be Demolished

from WDIV Detroit TV 4

Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said he plans to demolish the landmark former home of the Detroit Tigers and replace it with shops and housing. He said the playing field itself will be preserved as a park.

The plan also would retain a small part of the stadium itself.

It has been largely vacant since the Tigers moved out in 1999. The Tigers began playing there in 1912.
