Detroit: Tiger Stadium

Overview

Amenities: It was Tiger Stadium. It didn't need amenities. The seats were uncomfortable, and there were posts, though views were generally excellent. Concourses were small and closed off, but had a surprisingly large number of food choices.

History: It opened in 1912, and after many renovations and three names, closed in 1999. It saw the Tigers win baseball's championship four times, and was perhaps the most loved park in baseball history. It even got a group to form a human hug around it to preserve it. As far as I know, it still is standing.

Location: It was in a bad area of town. It was a little risky to park nearby, but usually was o.k. It was easy to get to via the highway, but because it was enclosed, it didn't have a view of anything.

Atmosphere: Tigers fans are baseball fans and normally family people. They weren't really loud, but they were spirited and attentive crowds that got increasingly smaller as the years went by.

Aesthetics: The exterior was very well known, as was the short right field porch. It had a unique look, and its orange and blue seats only made it a more attractive park. It didn't look big, but had over 50,000 seats, the views from which were some of the best in the game. The field was squared off, although construction made it a little safer down the right field line for star Al Kaline. Center Field was a daunting 440, but down the lines, it was much shorter.
