Well, I mean, let's take Tiger Stadium for example: Built, 1911. Demolished (partially): sometime since the last game in Sept. 1999. It doesn't matter where it was built, people want to see it stay around in some small form because of nostalgia. I remember my father taking me to a game there one day in '84, when I was just 3. I didn't realize or appreciate it at the time because I was too young, but as we all know, the Tigers had a truly magical season that year, and captured the World Series, not to mention I grew to become one of the biggest George "Sparky" Anderson fans you could find as a kid...

But soon along came Comerica Park. It doesn't matter that much to me or others where the construction materials came from to make it. The construction, in my eyes, is never complete until all the memories for players, fans, managers, etc., etc., &c. ad nauseam, stop with the final game and the stadium being torn down.

I hope you see my point, Team Sheep.
