ISO: Early Tiger Stadium Photos

Recommended Posts

Hey All-

Since you've all been so supportive of past projects, I am in rather desperate need of photographs of Tiger Stadium before it was fully enclosed in 1938. I have the photos from ballparksofbaseball.com, which has a good behind the plate view, but I would love to have informative pictures of what was beyond the left field fence between 1912-1937.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Do you mean pictures of the buildings that were around the ballpark? This is what I've found so far

I have no idea when the third photo was taken. However it does show some small homes or shops where the freeway is now. I'll keep looking for you

Small edit. I found another pictures. Bottom of this page

However, it is on Trumbull Ave which runs along the right field and center field side of tiger stadium. It's not the location your looking for but it should give you a good close up of the surronds of the stadium at the time. Hope these help

Wow, awesome, that first pic especially helps a ton. It's funny, because I found another picture that confirmed Clem's layout from 1934-1936 showing the giant left field seating area, but I never thought it actually existed. It just seems so different from the rest of the park, and I also can't believe they got rid of the adjacent street just to put in what look like temporary bleachers, which are just ridiculously huge.

I love baseball stadium history.

So you are doing early Tiger Stadium? Wow that just seems just awesome to think about to see it and to even play in it --you just gotta be a very smart and creative person to do this and I just want to say you do great work!!. And yes I also love ballpark history as well.. I am working on gettting my all-time (30) teams rosters set up before I play a season with them. Dynasties with no trades.. To play most of the games in classic old big ballparks it great!

Glad I could help. Sadly that's all the pictures I could find.

I hope somebody is doing a classic tiger stadium. I play all the time in the 1960 tiger stadium on this site. I play all my dynasty games in the classic stadiums.
