Well, probably. We’ve heard these rumors before, so I’ll believe it when I see it. But the Detroit Free Press reports that Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick announced a plan that will feature “a ring of retail shops and residential housing surrounding the historic playing field, which will be preserved as a nonprofit park and ball diamond.”

It’s a shame to see all of the old ballparks being torn down. With not much going on around Old Tiger Stadium, I’m surprised that they’re considering what they’re considering.
I will be up there when Tiger Stadium is finally demolished. Tiger Stadium has been a part of my life ever since I was a little boy when my Dad first introduced me to baseball in 1983. I’ve been hooked on the Tigers ever since…
The drive to Detroit on Thanksgiving won’t be the same without seeing Old Tiger Stadium. It gave me a warm feeling everytime I saw it, almost like a feeling of finally being in a place where I belonged.
I pass Tiger Stadium everyday on my way to school. Thank goodness it’s coming down, and finally the area will be revived.
Yeah, maybe you’re right. It’s just hard to see such a famous landmark being taken down.
It’s time to take it down, let’s just hope they do the right thing when they re-build that area.
