Tiger Stadium (formerly known as Navin Field and Briggs Stadium) was nicknamed “The Corner” for its location on Michigan Avenue and Trumbull Avenue. When the stadium closed, it was tied with Fenway Park as the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball the way the dates are normally reckoned. The two stadiums opened on exactly the same date in 1912. Taking predecessor Bennett Field into account, this was the oldest site in use in 1999. The Detroit Tigers moved to the newly constructed Comerica Park for their 2000 season leaving Tiger Stadium largely unused. After several rejected redevelopment and preservation efforts finally gave way to demolition on September 21, 2009. There are currently no plans for redevelopment at the site. However, Tiger Stadium’s actual playing field remains at the corner where the stadium once stood. Since the spring of 2010, a volunteer group known as the Navin Field Grounds Crew—composed of Tiger Stadium fans, preservationists, and Corktown residents—has restored and maintained the field.
