"The stadium died at 9:24"
Tiger Stadium is finally completely gone.
Detroit Economic Growth Corp. spokesman Bob Rossbach remarked earlier this week on the resulting vacant lot: "With this done, the site should look pretty good." If you're an opossum, anyway.
Idiots.

This is heartbreaking; what else can I say?

Shame on Detroit for tearing down all of Tiger Stadium. That's why I was glad KC decided to renovate Kauffman and Arrowhead rather than building new. There's something to be said about preserving history.

I'm glad they're renovating Arrowhead, but I'm not so happy they renovated Kauffman. Even though I moved to a neighboorhood about a half-mile from the TSC at the age of 3 and became a baseball fan by going to Royals games often, I believe baseball belongs closer to downtown and the site nexr to Union Station would've been a optimal location, plus Arrowhead could always use more parking.
