On Friday the Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy group reached a huge deadline by raising $219,000 toward the renovation of Tiger Stadium. There are two more deadlines involving smaller dollar amounts, but the real deadline determining the fate of Tiger Stadium is March 1, 2009, when the group must have $15 million in hand to renovate the ballpark to its original Navin Field configuration.
We covered this a little last week, but on Friday the Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy group reached a huge deadline by raising $219,000 toward the renovation of Tiger Stadium. There are two more deadlines involving smaller dollar amounts, but the real deadline determining the fate of Tiger Stadium is March 1, 2009, when the group must have $15 million in hand to renovate the ballpark to its original Navin Field configuration. (The recent ballpark demolition left intact the grandstand between the dugouts.) There’s a good chance the federal government will come up with $4 million, and various other funding sources will fill the gap. Tiger Stadium opened the same day as Fenway Park and was the home of the Detroit Tigers through the 1999 season.
