Interview: Harry Glanz (audio) (Updated 3/29/06)
For a hundred years, professional baseball was played in Detroit at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull. But Tiger Stadium has sat vacant since 1999, when the city built Comerica Park. Now a financier named Harry Glanz has an idea for the stadium. Scale the old ballpark back to the way it was when it first opened in 1912. Let kids play baseball - and turn the rest of it into a place with conference rooms, shops and a museum. But the financier can't get the mayor's office to call him back. Michigan Radio's Jack Lessenberry spoke with Harry Glanz about his idea.

BACKGROUND: Stadium countdown (Updated 8/12/98)

Michigan & Trumbull, LLC and Nonrahs Sinacola presented before the Detroit City Council on Thursday, September 26th at 11:00 a.m. to discuss the development of Tiger Stadium. The presentation was held on the 13th Floor Council Chambers located in the Coleman A. Young Municipal Building in Detroit, Michigan. The hope was that many of the supporters for preserving and utilizing Tiger Stadium would be present. Attendance, which was fair, was critical to the survival of Tiger Stadium.

A rally for Tiger Stadium was held the following day, September 27, 1998, at 10:00 AM on the corner of Michigan & Trumbull.
