PhantomDreamer Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Tiger StadiumI wonder how long it would have lasted if the "Cochrane Plan" was realized? The Tigers might still be playing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I know objectively it was kind of a crappy dump, but dammit the nostalgic in me misses Shea Stadium 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muggens Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Tiger StadiumI wonder how long it would have lasted if the "Cochrane Plan" was realized? The Tigers might still be playing there.I think it would have extended the lifespan of Tiger Stadium a little bit longer but they would have eventually needed a replacement (Comerica Park).

PhantomDreamer Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The often maligned Yankee Stadium renovation extended that ballpark's life for another 33 seasons. If the Cochrane Plan was implemented, I'm sure Tiger Stadium would still be the Tigers' home.Please Comiskey Park, come back to life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smzimbabwe Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 On questions like this, I have a hard time separating aesthetics from nostalgia. The Kingdome was a sterile dump, far inferior to Safeco or Century Link, but I can't help but think of growing up going to games in the stadium and then I miss it.

PhantomDreamer Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I believe the jumbotron replaced the original exploding scoreboard in 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cochrane Plan was implemented, I'm sure Tiger Stadium would still be the Tigers' home.Please Comiskey Park, come back to life!First off, "Yankee Stadium" did not last another 33 years. Those renovations in the 70's killed the original Yankee Stadium and left in it's place nothing more than a concrete monstrosity.Second of all, Comiskey Park is dead and gone. It's not coming back. If anything like it ever was built, it'd be a Camden Yards-style retro park. Nothing really like te original.

Raysfan12 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I still love the Old Shibe Park (Connie Mack Stadium) in Philly. In my mind, this is still the best looking ballpark in MLB history because of the architecture. Even with a NFL configuration, it still had great sightlines through the whole park.

Canadian_Idiot Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Gotta be Reunion.This place began my love affair with the sport of Hockey as a kid in the 90's.Inside of this building I lost my voice many times cheering for my hometown Stars through the good times:..and through dark times:I don't believe there was a louder arena in the league during the late 90's.Maybe that had something to do with the structure of the inside of the arena, but I really remember the crowd roaring.It's hard to get the AAC to that level of ear-deafening passion, but if this past April was any indication: it may very well get close in the following years.

BBTV Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Why? There's tons of buildings from the early 20th, late 19th century still standing and in full use today. My house was built in 1920, and the brownstone I lived in prior to this was from (I think) 1905 (possibly 1895 depending on what paperwork is accurate. ) "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
