i loved tiger stadium, I never could figure out what to do with it. A stadium has tiered seating. The floors are all sloped. Nice way to watch a baseball game, but pretty much useless for anything else.
Read the article again they replaced 85% of the volume.

If a stadium with sloped floors is useless for anything else, you haven't been following what they did to Cobo Arena. The thing was gutted to it's shell and the interior is being rebuilt.
