It's been about a year since the demolition of Tiger Stadium was completed, creating nothing but a vacant lot full of memories and rich history. According to the Detroit News, the land and the history that comes with it can now be purchased:
↵↵↵The city is officially seeking bids for the former Tiger Stadium site, which is now one of the most famous pieces of vacant land in the city.
↵The 9.5 acre site at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Trumbull has no specific restrictions on potential uses but city officials anticipate a mixed-use project, according to a statement released today by the Economic Development Corp.

It's hard to imagine a supermarket or a Bed Bath and Beyond sitting at that corner, but I guess it's inevitable that something ordinary and lame compared to Tiger Stadium will occupy the space. (That is, of course, unless SB Nation Detroit HQ tries to put in a hefty bid).
↵Detroit is requesting that any bidders have a substantive financial plan included with any bids, and all bids are due by Aug. 2. The site has local and state tax exempts for the next 12 years. Bidder up!
