The stadium's demolition was completed on September 21, 2009 though, the stadium's actual playing field remains at the corner where the stadium once stood. Since the spring of 2010, a volunteer group known as the Navin Field Grounds Crew (composed of Tiger Stadium fans, preservationists, and Corktown residents) has restored and maintained the field. A plan to redevelop the old Tiger Stadium site would retain the historic playing field for youth sports and ring the 10-acre property with new development—with the city now considering several confidential proposals from private developers that could include building housing and retail along Michigan and Trumbull avenues in the redeveloping Corktown district. Detroit PAL would largely privatize the field to be used for PAL events only and intends to replace the original field with an artificial playing surface."@en }
