Tiger Stadium demolition Welcome sign falls Sept. 19, 2009

Demo crews bring down the last "Welcome" sign over the entrance at the corner of Michigan and Cochrane about 8:30 p.m. EST on Sept. 19, 2009.
After months of doing nothing, the wreckers really kicked it up a notch on Sept. 19, demolishing almost all of the ballpark still standing within a matter of hours.
