Tiger Stadium

Tiger Stadium was a baseball field in the Corktown neighborhood where local and visiting teams competed. The playing field sat deep within the structure, while the stands rose in multiple tiers and brought many spectators close to the action.

The site hosted baseball from 1912 onward and changed names several times before receiving its final designation in 1961. The last game took place in 1999, after which the structure stood empty until demolition occurred mostly in 2009.

The infield area went by the nickname „The Corner

The site was largely demolished, but a portion of the original playing field still exists. Visitors today find some preserved elements and can explore the surroundings where thousands of fans once gathered.

Reggie Jackson hit a ball in 1971 that struck the roof above right field and became remembered as one of the longest shots in the record books. This moment stayed in the memory of many fans who watched the flight of the ball from close range.
