Detroit News reporters have jumped to conclusions about the failure of area redevelopment efforts and the need to demolish the stadium.
"The Detroit News ran a long story about what now appears to be the imminent demise of Tiger Stadium. The front-page piece by Joel Kurth and David Josar spent a lot of ink quoting city officials who claim there have been no realistic proposals to redevelop 'The Corner' and that, consequently, there's nothing left to do but demolish the historic structure.
We're not the only ones who thought the News badly erred on this one. In a letter to the editor, which she shared with News Hits, Karen Elizabeth Bush of Rochesterâ€" a longtime backer of reusing the fabled stadium -- wrote, 'I read today's Tiger Stadium story with interest. However, I regret that your investigative reporters were so willing to accept what the city has told them.'
She went on to detail legitimate development efforts that were shunted aside. The letter, as far as Bush can tell, never appeared in the paper."
