Scavenged this topic from the deep end of the forum, instead of opening a new one.

I was reading the Wiki page of Tiger Stadium. There is one picture of the demo in progress and one thing caught my eye. I'm not American so bear with me. But why is Old Glory flying in top while the demo is going on? Is that a custom? Shouldn't it have been flown half-mast?

Just a question from a foreigner.
