So, what’s really going on
with Tiger Stadium?
The reports of Tiger Stadium’s demise are greatly exaggerated. For over a year The Old
Tiger Stadium Conservancy has been quietly working on a plan to preserve a significant
portion of the beloved old ballpark. Last summer, the Detroit City Council approved our plan.
Our plan envisions an adaptive re-use of the historic stadium as a one-of-kind heritage site
with a restaurant, banquet hall, thematic retail, and museum quality exhibits. Fans will be able
to explore the clubhouses, the dugouts, and even the broadcast booth where Ernie Harwell
called so many great Tigers games. On the field, baseball will again be played by the best
amateur and youth ballplayers in the city of Detroit. Fans will be able to buy a hot dog in
Tiger Stadium’s classic concourse and watch a game in one of baseball’s all-time great
ballparks.
To date, over $8,000,000 has been identified in tax credit financing and U.S. Senator Carl Levin is
working on our behalf to secure federal funding support for this project. This plan will allow Tiger
Stadium to support itself for years to come.
Like you, we have fond memories of summer days at this great ballpark and believe Tiger
Stadium can still be an asset to Detroit. This is a chance for all of us to pitch in and save
Tiger Stadium from the wrecking ball.
Please Donate and keep this piece of history alive.

This is a plan the Detroit City Council approved last summer because we don’t want to build a monument to honor Detroit’s baseball history,
we want to keep it.
