DETROIT (AP) - Some of the scrap steel from Detroit's old Tiger
Stadium will be reused by a mill in northwest Ohio.
More than 94 percent of the demolished part of the stadium is
being recycled. That includes over 11.4 million pounds of steel and
almost 17.4 million pounds of concrete and other debris.
Detroit-based Ferrous Processing & Trading processed scrap metal
from the ballpark and says the destinations for the processed steel
included the North Star BlueScope Steel mill in Delta, 23 miles
west of Toledo.
Tiger Stadium has stood empty since the last major-league game
was played there nine years ago. The Tigers moved to nearby
Comerica Park at the start of the 2000 season.
