Tiger Stadium Demolition

[nickovarlamos91]

I'm quite upset at the fact that the people in charge of the city of Detroit are always finding ways to try to bring more and more people into the city, yet they go and destroy one of the most memorable, historical, and popular buildings in the state. Tiger Stadium could've become so much more than an empty lot filled with weeds, dirt and rubble.

little kid wearing the yankees shirt :( way to rub salt in the wounds

Growing up in a small town, going down to Tiger Stadium was like bowing at the altar. As a kid I couldn't believe it, I'd do anything to go back.

I'm nowhere near married, no GF, and that proposal story's bringin' a tear on :P - I wish I could've gotten to experience Tiger Stadium more, I don't know how many games I've been to, I remember the Yankees and Indians were two.

In the concourse I'd look up to see walkways with people going across from them, sort of dark, and it was something I wanted to go up -

and yeah, seemed like ages going down those 3 ramps

was here once and i was like less than a year old, i wish i was old old enough to remember and appreciate it. I don't know why but i hate seeing these fields come down, yes i think it is great seeing all these nice new fields, but there is just something about old fields

It's sad it's gone , but Im taking my 10 yr old son to his first game at comerica park. And going to take time to walk around stadium to talk about old tigers and tiger stadium.

[mposterFV]

Comerica is absolutely awesome!, Detroit - You should be proud of it. Fenway Park is a first class dump and so is the neighborhood around it. They must just hang on to the stadium because if it's posterity and heritage to baseball -- The Red Socks need a real stadium. Get with the times, Boston. I wish they would knock down Anaheim and rebuild it too.

[gomudhen]

Out of all the abandoned buildings in Detroit, the city picks the coolest one. No wonder Detroit has been messed up for 50 years.

look the stadium demoluchion the losers tigers

[nighthawkdave5150]

There was no ballpark like Tiger Stadium. Some of my most fondest memory's as a kid were of the "Corner". Michigan & Trumbull was it. R.I.P. Tiger Stadium.

I got in to see Tiger stadium in 2007. If I find the video I will put it up.

[CaptYzrman]

Lookie there 3:04 in! My good buddy and former roomate in Sunnyvale, CA, Ken Kinzler. As Ernie would say, "a young man from Riverview, MI"!

[75edainsworth]

idk if anyone been by the corner since they demo but the only thing left standing is an Iron Gate entrance,

[NessMencesal]

No way thats happening to Fenway.

[hannahmontana96able]

kiss played there in 1996

[heater581]

I can not believe the City of Detroit did this!!!!! This is so sad!!!!!

[Michlimania]

Gotta love them peanut vendors. So unique to Detroit.

Miss you old ball park.

[rainmanx63]

Does anyone have any fond memories of the '84 riot after the world series?

[mrhutchen]

Pfft what's up with the guy at 2:00?! His kid has on yankee shit. LOL!! I wouldnt have my kid in yankee shit if we're supposed to be Tigers "fans" .

[chrapko1]

kwame is responsible for this tragedy, he helped trash this town worse than even coleman young did

[RicoUToob]

I am glad to have had fond memories of Tiger Stadium when we visited Detroit. My dad would take us to games there. Just looked at the implosion of RIverfront Stadium. There's something special about these old bldgs that takes a lot of history down with them as each brick was cleared away. thanks for the video (This comment posted 1/3/2010)

[nosamxxx]

I want some peanuts now..:)

[Wheeljack35]

LOL I liked that guy at the end I possibly would of done the same thing

[jetercollecter]

I am from Columbus Ohio, I have been a Tigers fan for a long time. I used to listen to the games down here on 760 wjr. My first visit to Tiger Stadium was April 15, 1993. I did not know it till after the game but it was Sparky Anderson's 2,000th win! I still have my ticket stub.

[joesakic91]

RIP Tiger Stadium.

[coinman01]

The kid at 1:45 is wearing a yankees shirt and hat. LOL

[ipromotepartners]

wow im so sad. Im from here and i loved to go to the games. its just hard to even watch it! it's really sad. ALOT of memories there.................R.I.P. Mark Fydrich(the bird)

[bullittguy]

yes my memory of tiger stadium is the large amounts of paint chips falling from the roof into my eyes

[TrainBridge1]

that never really happend did it??...but i bet you ate a lot of paint chips as a kid!

[oldglory1999]

This was definitely a "money" issue imo, because look at fenway park for example. They're keeping that up and just modifying it. I have nothing against comerica park, but tiger stadium will always be the home of the tigers for me!

[rockndude87]

@oldglory1999 It'd be extremely difficult to relocate the Red Sox in Boston since it's so overwhelmed with buildings...It's so cramped on the block where Fenway is, but it's still fun to visit

[oldglory1999]

@rockndude87 Ok...I dont' know how much you know about detroit, but if tiger stadium is where comerica park is now....gaurantee modifications only would've been done. Nothing against boston, but I still consider them lucky to have fenway park...just keep in mind that someday they may build another park...you never know

[bigbluemsp]

LONG LIVE TIGER STADIUM..

Up until the horrid city members that control govt had it torn down I got chills driving by it.

I spent many a summer days there as a child, world series, play offs and such.

Baseball isn't the same w/o the double decker blue facade standing in the outfield.

[chaz7r]

Comerica park sucks! Ill never look at baseball the same this is hallowed ground now it will be a parking lot

[briancalifornia1]

Comerica park is beautiful

[t0xIcInSaNiTy15]

The one kid is a Tiger fan but hes wearing a Yankees shirt lol

[FairBolFL]

I can't believe they tore it down. The thing was on the National Register of Historic Places....isn't there any penalty for that?

[X9SamFisher]

there should

[thunderstruck665]

I can't believe the city kept Tiger Stadium up for so long.
