After all, he isn't taking a public subsidy to run an oil refinery. He is running a sports and entertainment business which has broad appeal to folks in Southeast MI [[and beyond).

Then he should've taken a collection up among the thousands of sports fans, since he needs a few bucks. I'd be more apt to support him if it was an oil refinery.

They already tried that, in the final season at Tiger Stadium[[under city ownership) there was 1 dollar from every ticket set aside for future upkeep of the stadium. Long story short, following the end of the season the city sells the stadium to Ilitch for $1, and along with it came that 2 million dollar collection for upkeep, everyone should know the rest of the story. Free Money!

The scary thing is how much pull Ilitch has within the state. He got Tiger torn down, even though the Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy and U.S. Senator Carl Levin secured funds and had a sound business plan for saving and redeveloping the site, it didn't get a chance. The DEGC played the role of facilitator.

Baseball field or not, pretty much all my relatives had been to Tiger, and they're all in the GR area. It was a Michigan institution for many. There aren't too many...

Finally, the most pathetic thing is the fact the mower gang has been shouldering the maintenance load for the field so long. It does say something about Tiger Stadium that a group is so dedicated to keeping the field intact...Pizza! Pizza!

And now it'll be a mini-mall and apartments.
