The city of Detroit has again put a damper on plans to keep baseball at the site of the former Tiger Stadium.

Chevrolet had proposed a plan what it calls the “hallowed” site to create a “new ballpark for Detroit’s youth.”

Chevy said it had support from the Detroit Tigers, and a non-profit group called the Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy.

But the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation quashed the proposal. DEGC head George Jackson says it just wasn’t a good idea.

“We certainly want the highest and best use for that site. Which unfortunately is not a Little League baseball field.”
