Great Pics Mendoza. Thank you as always.
Doesn't it seem like the roof top boxes were always empty aside from a few people directly behind the plate?
Even in the game pictured below when they had a good size crowd, there was almost no one on the 3rd level.
What was in those boxes and who could sit up there? Was that seating ever sold to the public?Attached Files

It really looks as if after the proposed olympic games, this would have been a Tiger Stadium replacement. It appears as if its on the site where Comerica now sits.
The city of Detroit prepared bids for the olympic games from the 30s -late 60s. They came very close for the 68 games. Mexico City won
Here is the entire set
Not to offend, but history is history.

the view from the first couple of rows of the upper deck in RF must have really sucked.
Having to look through chain link fence for three hours must have been migrane inducing.
Not if you get up close enough, though.
