DETROIT (WWJ) -- It's been closed for nearly ten years and early this week crews started the process of tearing down historic Tiger Stadium in Detroit.
The park opened in 1912 as Navin Field and hosted among other things thousands of Tigers games, Babe Ruth's 700th career home run in 1934 and a speech by South African president Nelson Mandela in 1990.
An August first deadline still stands for a group seeking to raise enough money to save part of the stadium. For information or to donate to the cause, click here.
