Friends of Tiger Stadium is an organization trying to get some questions answered about the City of Detroit's dealing with a classic, nearly 100 year old ballpark. For example, why is the city still paying the Tigers $400,000 a year to mow the Stadium when many people would volunteer? Why is the City so hesitant to sell the stadium, especially when they're in a budget crunch right now? And, why is this not protected as a historic site? For those that don't care about Tiger Stadium per se, the history page of the site has links to a slew of very cool web sites devoted to old ballparks.
