Well, we've already pretty much lost the former oldest stadium in Major League Baseball history, even though some would say Tiger Stadium has only been partially demolished. I think Comerica Park is very overrated and should have never been built. It was truly heartbreaking to see Tiger Stadium demolished to the extent it has been, after less than 10 years of not having any baseball played there. Fenway has it's own unique history as well, as America's second-oldest MLB stadium (both stadiums opened on the same day way back in the early 20th Century, Detroit started playing earlier that day, however, so it's technically a few hours older than Fenway). I could only imagine the outrage and heartbreak that would ensue in bean-town, if this magnificent piece of Boston's (and really, America's, if you think about it) fabric. I hope it never has to happen.
