Bear in mind, baseball games at "the Corner" are much older than Tiger Stadium [[1961-1999). Or Briggs Stadium [[1938-1960). Or Navin Field [[1912-1938). Or Bennett Park [[1896-1911). They date back to and before it was named Boulevard Park [[1890s).
If parking was the complaint, it probably wasn't such a hot idea to rip out the Trumbull and Michigan cars in the mid-20th century. That's when they must have really started knocking down houses for parking ...
Still, it's a clever tactic to suggest that Tiger Stadium and its previous incarnations somehow threatened a historic neighborhood. Nice try.
