Tiger Stadium (Detroit)

Tiger Stadium was a baseball park located in Detroit, Michigan. It hosted the Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1912 to 1999, as well as the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL) from 1938 to 1974. Originally named Navin Field, it was renamed Briggs Stadium in 1938 in honor of Walter Briggs, Sr., the owner of the Tigers. In 1961, it was officially renamed Tiger Stadium.

The stadium was located in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit, near the intersection of Michigan and Trumbull Avenues. Several additions and renovations took place over the years, significantly altering the stadium's original design. Its most recognizable features included the flagpole in center field (in play until 1999), the overhanging right-field roof, and the varying dimensions of the outfield walls.

Tiger Stadium was known for its intimate atmosphere and the enthusiastic support of its fans. It witnessed numerous historic moments in baseball and football history, including several World Series games, NFL Championship games, and memorable individual performances.

After the Tigers moved to Comerica Park in 2000, Tiger Stadium stood vacant for several years. Despite efforts to preserve a portion of the stadium, it was eventually demolished between 2008 and 2009. The site is now a youth sports complex named The Corner Ballpark at Corktown.
