TIGERS SOLIDIFY STADIUM CONSTRUCTION ROSTER WITH THREE FIRMS

8.13.1997

          The Tigers "are expected to sign contracts soon" with
     IN-based Huber, Hunt & Nichols; NC-based Turner
     Construction; and MI-based White Construction, to build the
     team's new $260M ballpark in Detroit, according to Patricia
     Montemurri in the DETROIT FREE PRESS.  The Tigers "declined
     to comment on the selections," but Montemurri writes that
     "sources close to the negotiations confirmed" the choices. 
     (DETROIT FREE PRESS, 8/12). While the Tigers "are expected"
     to announce a groundbreaking in August, Detroit/Wayne County
     Stadium Authority Co-Chair Michael Duggan said that "it will
     take months" before the land is ready to build on,
     "depending on the environmental cleanup needed and the
     length of time demolition takes" (DETROIT NEWS, 8/13).
