Opened the same year as Fenway but no clame to fame like Fenway, it holds its own ground. formally know as Briggs Stadium, it sat on the corner of & Michigan and trumbull. it was boxed in with no view of Detroit. But it was still a wonderful ballpark. two decks held up by metal post, a canopy sat above the stadium that gave great shade. if you walk in the top deck the little walk way was fenced so you could look down at the fans. the wall along the baseline was leveled with the field. the out Field wall was a tad higher. the exterior was white stucco. The foul area was very wide like the one in Oakland. Twins won the ALCS there in 1987 game 5, 9-5 marking their place the ballpark history. Tiger was a majestic old fashion ballpark, to bad its gone.
