Tiger Stadium not quite dead yet
The Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy didn't meet their fundraising goal by today's deadline, but did convince the Detroit city council to give them another week to raise $219,000 toward saving the last surviving section of Tiger Stadium. (The full cost is expected to be between $3 million and $5 million.)
The council will now vote next Tuesday on whether to preserve or demolish the section of grandstand around the infield, which is all that's left of the historic ballpark. At last word the Conservancy was still short about $40,000, so if you have, say, some money sitting around after you pulled it out of your Icelandic bank, get out your credit card.
