You wanna know why, well everyone already new most of those facts, what you don't understand is that tiger stadium was filled and still is to this day with memories from all the games that took place there. your obviously either not from michigan or a tiger fan. It may not mean much to you, much to a bunch of us, that stadium will always mean something. Even though it's not there anymore, it's there in spirit. So there's your explanation

The words "Thank you old friend" Gave me shivers, no joke.

I was at this game when I was 6 years old. My dad had a press pass so I was able to go on the field after the game and meet all the old time players... just thinking about it now brings me shivers. Easily one of my favorite stadiums ever and definitely my most memorable baseball moment.

@mingrassia33 That's a good question. and I have no idea why.

I think the new stadium looks worse in person than on tv. None of the seats are that good and the concourses are still crowded with lines. Ultimately, it looks generic, symetrical and boring.

The only thing interesting is the view of the downtown buildings but that's not within the actual stadium.

A 28 second trot...can you blame him?

@ConfidentLefty Yes, this was Montgomery's last game.

@carlinrulez666 It's a DVD box set called The Essential Games of the Detroit Tigers. It has 4 DVD's. Game 5 of the 1968 World Series, Game 5 of the 1984 World Series, Last game at Tiger Stadium, and Game 4 of the ALCS.

It only cost me like 20 bucks and it was well worth it.

@JustinVerlander35

The great Vin Scully said there wasn't an upper deck in the entire United States that put you as close and more on top of the action than the upper deck at Tiger Stadium. The radio and television announcers were only 50 feet from home plate and they wouldn't have time to react to foul balls. Tiger Stadium wasn't as much a stadium as it was a gigantic enclosed arena. I miss it dearly.
