Demolition of Tiger Stadium - Day 2

From July 10, 2008.
The carnage spreads to the bleachers in left center. The American flag flying between the gap made the scene even more disturbing, as if tearing down history and memories in favor of luxury boxes is the American way.
Demolition of one of the most storied arenas in the history of American sports is coming down. Detroit still has a chance to save a corner of The Corner! Donate whatever you can at www.savetigerstadium.org. Every little bit helps! Remember, once it's gone, it's gone forever!

A building with THAT much history. Just make it into a museum or something. Fuck Detroit and MONEY. The world revolves around money. History doesn't mean shit to anyone, does it?

I was there the other day. Even White Sox fans were there. With all the buildings in Detroit that need to be torn down, it seems like the city just could not wait to fence it off and back in the demo crews. Real sad times in Detroit.
