Tiger Stadium a Goner
Michigan’s implosion shows no signs of stopping. General Motors’ equity market cap was recently surpassed by Gamestop, a retailer who peddles, among other things, copies of Grand Theft Auto, and now it appears another symbol of Michigan is about to disappear as well:
The demolition of old Tiger Stadium appears to be at hand as a fence is being built around the stadium, blocking the structure from the public forever.
Demolition is scheduled to start soon on most of the stadium. The company with the contract, MCM Management Corp., would not comment Tuesday afternoon, but workers at the stadium said they had been told the tear-down would begin in two weeks.
Earlier this month, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick granted a final deadline of Aug 1 to the group that hopes to save the stadium from dugout to dugout. It needs to raise $15 million for its plans. In the meantime, the rest of the stadium will begin to fall. MLive
$15 million? Bye bye, Tiger Stadium.
