Vigil, film shoot at Tiger Stadium
With demolition machinery on the scene, about 100 people gathered at Tiger Stadium late last night to protest the ballpark's imminent destruction. Crews are reportedly in the stadium prepping it for demolition.
They apparently won't start today, though: A film crew is on the scene for a one-day shoot, using what remains of the stadium as the backdrop for a Val Kilmer movie. Tiger Stadium, some of you may recall, also stood in for old Yankee Stadium during filming of the HBO movie 61*; somehow I doubt that the site will prove as alluring to filmmakers once it's a vacant lot.
