No other baseball field would have been able to hold that honor and since Tigers made the move to Woodward Avenue at the start of the new century, the old stadium missed the chance. The other old stadiums, Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, first hosted games in the 1900s.
Over the course of the Detroit Tigers’ long history, the team has made their homes in two locations. From 1896 to 1999, the team made its home on the grass at Michigan and Trumbull. The other location is the current one at 2100 Woodward Ave.
While history talks about the Detroit Tigers making their debut in 1901, the team actually existed well before the American League made the Tigers into a major league team.
