Seeing that photo hurts quite a bit. I loved that stadium. Although I only ever saw one game there, I used to pass by it on the highway on a daily basis back in my truck-driving days. Leave it to Detroit to demolish the only attractive piece of architecture in the metro area. Their soccer team is the Detroit Demolition. How apro-freaking-pos. It's not like the land underneath the stadium is terribly valuable! Perhaps they are tearing it down due to overwhelming demand for yet another crack house in the city's core. Just another example of lack of foresight on the part of scandal-ridden "hip-hop" mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. RIP.

(Excuse the tongue-in-cheek aspects to the above rant--the demolition of any historic building never fails to rile me up.)
