It's been 15 years since the Detroit Tigers played their final game at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull.
The old Tiger Stadium was torn down in 2009. Since then, no one's been able to agree on what to do with the 10-acre site until now.
The field will remain for youth sports, including high school and college baseball. Along Cochrane Avenue, a new headquarters will be built for the Detroit Police Athletic League, who will maintain the playing field. The headquarters would extend from the street to roughly the old third base line and could cost almost $10 million.
Detroit Free Press business writer John Gallagher said this plan represents a merger of two conflicting visions – preserving the field for baseball - and developing it for new businesses and jobs.
“I think everybody gets a little something out of this,” Gallagher said.
