I'm torn as to which I would want to own more, a stack of these seats, or the section sign hanging above them. I miss Tiger Stadium...
![]() This appears to be the folding chairs that filled in the box seats areas at Tiger Stadium. This photo is dated 1976, before the wooden seats were replaced by the plastic blue and orange seats. My best guess is they were stored here for the winter. I'm torn as to which I would want to own more, a stack of these seats, or the section sign hanging above them. I miss Tiger Stadium...

Our final tribute to Opening Day this year. My how times have changed. This was the very first game of the season, and it was on April 17th - 18 days later than 2014. The Tigers lost to the Kansas City Athletics 2-1 in 2 hours and 37 minutes. The 2014 home opener was 3 hours and 1 minute. The opener in 1956 didn't sell out; there were 45,068 in attendance.
Imagine somewhere in the depths of Briggs Stadium there was a "closet" that had a row of Briggs Stadium Usher uniforms. Oh to have one of these jackets today...
![]() The Tiger hitters line up for a photo on Opening Day; April 17, 1951. Hall of Famer Bob Lemon out-pitched Hall of Famer Hal Newhouser, as the Indians beat the Tigers 2-1. The game only lasted two hours and 16 minutes. Amazingly, the game was nowhere close to a sellout; only 43,470 were in attendance. The Tigers jackets that the hitters are wearing are so cool! Check out the old wooden stadium seats above the dugout as well. |
