@concretejunglemedia Actually, Titanic sank in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912, after striking the iceberg at 23:40 on April 14.

So what do baseball stadiums do differently than football stadiums, Tiger stadium went from 1912-1999 as a field for the Tigers to play on, but the Silverdome couldnt last 30 years? the Lions only played there from 1975-2001, really?

Just dynamite it... my say..

@1981CrueHead The typo is irrelevant. Tiger stadium is gone. Thats whats important.

@breezwonder You can't spell Detroit.

I saw Reggie Jackson's monster home run here on TV for the 1971 All-Star game. It struck the light tower on the right field roof. It would easily have gone 600 feet or more if it did not hit anything.

Actually right now it's only partial. A conservancy group has raised enough money to stop the demolition at the original configuration as it was in 1912. Currently that's what's left. Meaning a horseshoe shaped portion around home plate and the entire playing field. They have until the spring to see if they can raise enough money to make it into a museum. It's been sitting vacant since September 1999.

Tiger stadium was the oldest park in mlb

Actually Fenway Park in Boston opened up the same day April 12, 1912. Both were state of the art ballparks but got overshadowed in the newspaper because that was the day the Titanic sank.

Yes, they did take home plate out and they have displayed it in the new ball park (Comerica Park). As for the maintenance, the city paid for maintenance like mowing the grass, etc. But that was the extent of it. If it was up to the city they would have tore it down a week after the last game in 1999. They've really handled the situation poorly. I put up a new video taken today on 10-18-2008. What you see standing is what we're trying to save.
