Demolition of Tiger Stadium is underway
The demolition of 96-year-old Tiger Stadium began this week, with crews punching a large hole in an exterior wall, no doubt to begin moving in equipment. (If I'm reading the photos right, it's the wall along the left-field side, along Fisher Freeway.) An FoS reader sends along a closer view.
Meanwhile, the Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy is now taking online donations toward its campaign to preserve the section of the grandstand from first to third base. It looks as if earlier reports that only a small section of the lower deck would be saved under the plan was incorrect, though much of the seating in the latest plan does appear to be displaced for stores or offices.
