How can I get a copy of this program?

@thebig1 No kidding. Throw in the Kingdome, Three Rivers, and Busch to that list as well. I loved old Tiger stadium. Even the obstructed view seats were good seats. Sitting in the upper deck at 3rd was always my favorite seat.

@cojo823 After the first season, Comerica Park was pretty empty most games until the Tigers got good again in 2006.
Honestly, I don't see why they needed to leave. Comerica is pretty bland among retro style parks and Tiger Stadium was so unique and distinctive, it was just irreplaceable.
I was only 13 when the park closed (was at the final game) but even to me, it looks more natural seeing clips of the team at the Corner than at the present day carnival.

The best ballbark hands down in the majors. Not one bad seat in the house. Rest in peace Tiger stadium!

@thebig1 Fair statement. Im just gald they decided to put some variety into the newer statdiums.

@cojo823 The stadium didn't keep the fans away. The fact that the Tigers completely sucked for the last decade was what kept fans away from Tiger Stadium. It was virtually impossible to get tickets during the last season and I guarantee you it wasn't because the Tigers were going to win anything that year with a record of 69-92.

@leshager Yeah he seems like a real down to earth guy to me.

@agoo7581 Back then in the early 90's the statment was pretty much true especially in the NL with all the multipurpose stadiums like Metrodome, Astrodome, Riverfront Stadium and so on. They were all round and used for Football and baseball.

I believe the actual title of this special was "Baseball's Heirlooms". I used to have it saved on VHS myself years ago. The special also included segments on Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and Old Comiskey. I'd love to see the whole thing again sometime.
I can't get over how "young" Kell, Kaline, Harwell, etc. look here.
RIP George
