The DPL Burton Historical site doesn't give a year for it, but from the political ads on the stands, I would guess that it's from 1907. Charles Nichols began serving as City Clerk in 1908, meaning that he was elected in the 1907 election.
From the packed stands, and the dense number of them, as well as them being festooned with campaign signs, I would guess that this picture was taken at either an important late season game, or the Tigers first World Series against the Cubs.
