Detroit Tiger Stadium vs. Utica (Mi) Baseball Stadium...Detroit Taxpayers Lost
....also Ilitch fails Detroit youth - they need baseball fields in Rouge Park - now.
Mike Ilitch, owner of the Detroit Tigers, and Red Wings, along with George Jackson, former head of the DEGC, should be condemned and investigated for allowing historic Detroit Tiger Stadium to be demolished and Ilitch for taking Detroit tax dollars for the security and maintenance of the Stadium and then failing to fufill the agreements with the City.
Mike Ilitch and the Detroit Tigers are cursed - and will NOT win the World Series in Ilitch's lifetime, because he helped with the 'demolition by neglect' (documentary film - Stranded at the Corner -).
Utica is getting what Ilitch and Jackson could have achieved with Tiger Stadium, a revenue producing stadium to host minor league baseball and other activities. Detroit Tiger Stadium could have been configured to host a minor league team, Wayne State Universtiy baseball, local high school championship games and other activities that could have been a revenue stream for the City. Detroit Tiger Stadium could have been a visitors mecca, (like Fenway Park, Comiskey Park) with a Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, Ernie Harwell's sports memorabilia, and more - but all attempts to save Tiger Stadium were meant with contempt by Jackson (Ilitch) and blocked.
The FBI should reopen or start and investigation of Ilitch and Jackson, so that Detroit residents and baseball fans, know the TRUTH about the 'demolition by neglect' that left Detroit without a viable revenue stream and a historic stadium torn down.
Ps: Mike Ilitch and the Detroit Tiger players have failed Detroit youth by not constructing and maintaining enough baseball fields in Detroit and throughout Rouge Park...no wonder there are so few black major league players.
