Tiger Stadium……How I Miss Thee

Thumbnail image for TigerStadiumaction.jpgIt’s It’s hard for me to watch a game at Fenway, or Wrigley. It makes me happy yet sad. I hope for the die-hards in those cities they never decide to build a “New Wrigley” or a ‘New Fenway”, because trust me……..it’s not the same. Its been 10 years of the new tiger stadium and I still don’t care for it.

(And of course in this day and age where a pitcher with career record under .500 can get 5 million a year, we need a sponser to name the stadium!!! Gotta make up some money somehow!!….) 

Yes Comerica Park is a “nice” stadium, modern if you will. (If modern means its designed like every other stadium now) I find it cold. What was so unique and special about Tiger Stadium is long gone. Comerica Park looks just like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and a handful of new stadiums. There is nothing unique about them at all.

Goin to Wrigley reminds me of old-time baseball. The fans are right up close with the action. It’s awesome!! I have to plan a trip this year to wrigley or fenway!!

At Comerica Park if you are in the upper deck, especially by the foul poles, the players look like ants!!

 So nearing your 10 year anniversary Comerica Park, I must say I still yearn for Tiger Stadium, I will try to attend my usual 10 to 15 games this season and pull for my Tigers, hoping they can get a postseason spot, but I will always miss the action on the corner of Michigan and Trumbull.
