I was perfectly happy with Tiger Stadium. Went to hundreds and hundreds of games. Easy parking, never waited in line for the bathroom, adjusted to the rare obstructed view seat. The food was excellent, the people at the park were cordial, the views were close and terrific. It was quieter at Tiger Stadium; no music blasting over giant speakers to get the crowd excited. All of the noise was generated by the fans, Loved the overhang in RF, the original scoreboard in CF. Saw many crucial games from the grandstand in LF. The bullpens were close to the stands; you could talk to the players and they'd respond and be friendly. For me, the best memories I have of baseball were in that ballpark. I'll never forget the people I went to games with and the relationships we shared. No complaints or tears from me today. Remembering the experiences makes me smile. I'm just glad that I was part of the fun. Time well spent. (I lied. Maybe a bit misty-eyed is closer to the truth).
