Do you think Tiger Stadium should be demolished?

Question

i mean yes its stood vacant but to tear down a piece of history is like burning the declaration of independence. So should it go or should it stay?

thank you warren 1515 for your opinion but guess what? I dont care. i was simply making a point not a fact okay? is that all right with you?

So far none of these answers are good...

Answer 1

Growing up I was fortunate enough to attend hundreds of games at Tiger stadium do to the fact my father was a season ticket holder, so my heart says don't tear it down. Reality is though it will more than likely disappear for no other reason than to fatten the wallets of a group of businessmen who feel the property can be put to better use. One more point. Don't let the narrow minded answer from 1515 bother you. Its obvious this is one very unhappy individual who nos nothing about everything.

Answer 2

Here is the sad truth about the City of Detroit and Tiger Stadium. An investor attempted to buy the stadium to renovate the area and the stadium. The plan called for keeping the original stadium mostly intact with a sports museum, stores and other types of commercial property.

The city rejected the offer because the person was not from Detroit. And until the city of Detroit cleans up its act and bases decisions not on politics or race or corruption the city will continue to flounder.

Answer 3

When the Detroit Tigers left Tiger Stadium and moved to Comerica Park, I first wanted the stadium to be preserved for future generations. I thought that the stadium could be used for filming baseball movies and where future baseball and football games could be held. After seven years of being abandonded, I would like to see the Stadium Demolished because it will never be used again in the future and it is not worth spening thousands of dollars maintaining a facility that just stands vacant. I do believe that the stadium should be demolished but the field should be preserved for future generations where community baseball games can be played.

When Indianapolis built Victory Field for the Indianapolis Indians, they decided to keep their old home Busch Stadium. It got used as a dirt track for racing. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. The new owner couldn't make the race season last and the stadium stood vacant for awhile. I think they did finally bring it down but I cannot remember. So, it is sad that progress sometimes has to bring down such historic buildings. Image the day when Wrigley Field or Fenway Park have to come down. That will be a sad day.

Answer 5

If it is just staying there taking up space, yes, tear it down. Your analogy is flawed. I would hardly compare the Declaration of Independence with the existence of Tiger Stadium. The Declaration of Independence set the tone for and listed the reasons why we needed to rebel against the tyrannical rule of George the Third of England. Millions of people subsequently gained their freedom. Just a LITTLE more important than the history of Tiger Stadium. Your sense of history and historical importance is way overblown.

P.S. Your point was not made; and, of course, it is ok with me. It's your opinion, and I gave you mine. Is that ok too??

I hope this helps you.

Answer 6

Have you seen it lately?

I pass it every time I go to Comerica Park, and it is in shambles.

It's a total disgrace the way the city of Detroit has neglected it.

When The Tigers first moved, there were plans to use the stadium for high school games and whatnot. That never happened.

I have fond memories of the ole bird, and it hurts to see what has become of it.

Yes, tear it down and use the field as a neighborhood park.

I had heard there are finally plans to tear it down, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Answer 7

Most of the former players want it gone. Most of the fans want it to stay. I'm torn I spent most of my childhood there. My grandpa took me to my first game, which was also Trammels first game as a Tiger. That is the reason why I'm undecided. the city has other buildings that need more attention than the corner. it is not falling apart on the streets yet like others in the city.

The city need to take care of it's crime and schools first before tearing down Tiger stadium. I feel that's bigger issue here.

Answer 8

i comprehend that you likely imagine stadiums might want to stay always and that i comprehend the way you experience,tearing down the Orange Bowl in Miami became demanding for distinct typhoon/Dolphins followers yet once a stadium starts to become worse like it began to do and the cement is beginning to chip away some issues might want to come to an end.Tiger Stadium hasn't been used because the Tigers left for Comerica and has been purely sitting there. about Fenway and Wrigley nevertheless status, both cities favor them to stay wakeful, it became the Detroit Tigers company that planned to vacate Tiger Stadium.
