Description

Built in 1911, Detroit’s Tiger Stadium provided unmatched get right of entry to for generations of baseball fans. In response to a classic grandstand design, its development during the 20th century reflected the booming industrial city around it. Emphasizing utility over adornment and offering more fans inexpensive seats near the field, it was once in each and every sense a working class ballpark that made the game the central focal point.

Drawing at the perspectives of historians, architects, fans and players, the creator describes how Tiger Stadium grew, adapted and thrived, and the way it was once demolished in 2008–a casualty of racism and corporate welfare. Chronological diagrams illustrate the evolution of the playing field.
