Ilitch: My bad
Detroit Tigers owner Mike Ilitch, who led the charge to abandon historic Tiger Stadium for Comerica Park in 2000, appears to be having second thoughts. At a spring training game in Lakeland, Florida's newly renovated Marchant Stadium, Ilitch told the crowd: "We just got done spending $300 million for a stadium, and I'm telling myself, 'Mike, why didn't you take a detour, come down to Lakeland and get some advice?'" Actually, Mike, you wouldn't have needed to leave Michigan.
