tiger stadium was a patchwork of construction projects going back to when it was a hay market. It was never a single structure like Cobo. Holy smokes man, just because sporting events occurred inside both does not make them the same thing.

tiger stadium was great. For baseball.
Remember Tiger Stadium was partially demolished for a time, while they tried raising money to save it. My point is it could have been saved in some fashion, there is no reason this exact type of project could not have been done here in Detroit.
