Or Yankee stadium.
Lets play the Red Wings and anyone at the Big House, over 100,000 would show up, that would be awesome !
Tigers Stadium would be nice in it's day, not sure if I would want to go in there now, but it only held 40,000 +

Actually Tiger Stadium had about 40,000 seats that weren't blocked by posts, but actually sat about 55,000. Comerica sits 40,000+. The Big House, now there's an idea. They could play a double header with MICHIGAN- MSU as the opening game. Two of the best hockey programs in the country.
Tigers Stadium held 55,000 ????
In that quaint little ballpark ...
edit: I'll be da*ned 52,416, you would have never guessed it, must have been the 12,416 obstructed view seats !
Tiger Stadium

The seats infront of the posts were the best in baseball, especially around the infield. The CF bleachers were in another zip code from the rest of the park, God forbid you bought seats behind the posts.... The Tigers would jam 55K on opening day routinely. A huge tradition in Detroit. This city will forever be a baseball city first, followed by the Pistons, Lions , and Wings. (I don't understand how Ford Field keeps selling out).
I've sat in various places at Tigers Stadium, including BEHIND the pole...
Right field , my very first Proffesional game.
3b line as well...
1B line into the outfield for the game against Toronto that ended a Tiger season and they went on to the playoffs that year, I think Wilcox pitched a dandy, but it's been a long time ago so I don't remember alot of details.
I use to take opening day off work when possible, but never made it to a game (opening day)

What's up with that? Wings have been kicking ass, and taking names against everyone except their own division, which could be one of the weakest in the NHL.
GO WINGS!!!
GO WINGS!!!
Interesting, the Wings are 7-7-2 against thier own division
Dallas is leading thier division and they are also struggling against the Central, they are 3-5-1.

The Penguins hold the league's worst division record, going just 4-10-1 against Atlantic Division rivals.
Interesting conversation on the radio the other day. 1460"The Fan" had legendary OSU linebacker Chris Speilman on. They were talking about how great the outdoor game was on TV.
Speilman said that he loved but it was STUPID timing putting it on against bowl games, especially the Michigan-Florida game.
He said (EXACTLY what I was thinking) "Why don't they putit on the following week as a lead-in to the NFL playoffs, with no other TV competition."
The host asked Speilman if he wanted to be NHL Comissioner?
Speilman said, and I quote, "I'M NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO BE THE NHL COMISSIONER!"
Good 'ol Gary Buttman, what a pathetic excuse for a comissioner.

This is Classic !
I've always like Chris, he calls a game and tells you what is actually happening :up

Ugh, 3 straight losses for the Wings, and last night's game was an embarrassment. It's strange that as soon as Osgood is named to the All Star team, he lays two 5+ goal stinkers in a row. The Ottawa game was a fun one to watch, but the Wings were definitely outplayed. Hopefully this is just a midseason lull.
With the lead the Red Wings have, they can afford a few nights off. It's a long time till the "real season".
