Tiger Stadium (Detroit)

Pros: Historic
Cons: closed

Tiger Stadium closed at the end of the 1999 season. The Detroit Tigers now play at a stadium named after a corporate sponsor rather than their own mascot. I'm sure the new stadium is nice and I hope to see a game there at some point, but I thought ...

Pros: She represented Detroit; rough and scarred on the outside, spirited and surprisingly appealing on the inside.
Cons: Located in a really rough neighborhood.

It was a warm summer night in 1976 and I was 9 years old. It was the season of "The Bird", Mark Fidrych, a rookie pitcher who had baseball fans from all over the country in a tizzy. You see, "The Bird" was not just on All-Star calibre...

Pros: Old style stadium, wonderful memories
Cons: Obstructed view sections, no longer the home of the Tigers

Whenever I think back on childhood, the one thing I really think of fondly is Tiger Stadium. I remember that fateful season in 1984 when the Tigers introduced me to organized baseball with the spellbinding season that held me in thrall as I listened to...

Pros: history, sightlines
Cons: poles, food, parking

Tigers Stadium was not the best baseball field I have ever been to but it certainly felt that way. There are a lot of bad things about Tigers Stadium like the neighborhood it's in, the crumbling interior and exterior, the horrible parking, hundreds of...

Pros: Environment
Cons: It no longer exists

I went to Tiger Stadium three years ago and I sat in the upper deck in left field. Just being there made me feel in awe. I sat in the first row, and was literally having a conversation with left fielder Phil Nevin. The food was outstanding and the...

Pros: sense of history, comfortable seats, good coffee
Cons: weather can make games very cold!

This is one of the traditional ballparks and if you've been following my opinions you know I have a thing for that type of ballpark. And Tiger Stadium was no exception. I loved it here. I first went here in the midst of an early season blizzard (and...

Pros: so much history
Cons: old

Tigers stadium, home of the detroit tigers, is one of the oldest baseball parks around. There is so much history in that park, just think about it. Ty Cobb played on this feild. It has a very unique third deck in the outfield where many home run...

Pros: ATMOSPHERE!
Cons: some obstructed seats

I was able to see Tiger Stadium for the first time on the second to last game in the Stadium history. Coming from Portland, OR, it was a long trip, but it was well worth it. Upon arriving outside the stadium, the first thing I noticed was that this place...

Pros: Charm, enclosed, nachos
Cons: obstructed views, bad team, neighborhood

In all these modern stadiums the emphasis is less on baseball, more on the city the stadium is in. Every stadium makes an attempt to overlook a beautiful skyline that visitors can gaze at while sitting in a baseball stadium. I'm from the old school. I ...

Pros: the history
Cons: obstructed seats

If Tiger Stadium was a brand new ballpark, I would hate it. However, it was built in 1912, and as of last season, it was the oldest ballpark in Baseball. However, the 1999 season was the last for this great stadium, in in this Epinion, I will account...

Pros: Atmosphere: Enjoyable GAME
Cons: Old, obstructed view seating, team

I have been to many games at Tiger Stadium in the last 15 years. Tiger Stadium was a special place. It is a cozy place to watch a game and the price was always good for the product it put on the field. The game was always the most important thing when...

Pros: Wonderful Memories

Memories are something that cannot be bought or sold, they are something that are found only deep in ones heart, so when I think back on the old Tiger stadium in Detroit, I think of all the memories I had as a child growing up in the big city. My...

When I first went to the Motor City I was really impressed with the aspects of this ball park.Tiger Stadium was one of the more older looking ball parks that still had the great feeling of making you feel like you in a new park.The wonderful view...

Pros: ???
Cons: ???

Well, what can I say about one of the greatest ballparks in history. My parents grew up in Detroit, so whenever we would go and visit, we would stop by the corner of Michigan and Trumball to see a game. I remember going to at least a game a year for...
