EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken in the year 1940, showcases the breathtaking view of Briggs Stadium in Detroit, Michigan, USA. The image offers a unique perspective of the iconic sports venue, which was the proud home to both the Detroit Tigers baseball team and the Detroit Lions football team. The stadium, nestled along the Detroit River and bordered by Woodward Avenue, is framed by the impressive skyline of Detroit and the vibrant landscape of the city. Briggs Stadium, also known as Briggs Park or Navin Field, was a significant part of Detroit's rich sports history. Opened in 1938, the stadium hosted numerous memorable games and events, including the World Series in 1940 and 1945. It was a testament to Detroit's love for sports and its unwavering support for its teams. Sadly, the grandstands of Briggs Stadium were demolished in 2009, marking the end of an era. Today, the site is home to the Michigan Central Station, which is undergoing a massive restoration project. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Detroit's storied past and the history that once unfolded within the walls of Briggs Stadium. In the background, the skyline of Detroit and the neighboring Windsor, Ontario, Canada, can be seen. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural beauty and the unique character of the city during the 1940s. This aerial view is a testament to the enduring spirit of Detroit and the memories that continue to live on, long after the stadium's demise.
