Poster
Poster printed in black text on white paper for the Tiger Stadium Hug on June 10, 1990. A photograph of a scale architectural model representing the Cochrane Plan for renovating Tiger Stadium, taken by Bartush Photography, is on the bottom right. The text of the poster reads as follows:
"Preserve our Past Protect our Future
The Cochrane Plan for renovating Tiger Stadium takes a landmark ball park into the 21st Century. For only a fraction of what a new stadium would cost, the Cochrane Plan creates room for all the amenities modern fans enjoy without disturbing the intimacy and tradition of the best fans' ball park in the major leagues. The Cochrane Plan keeps the Tigers in Detroit and keeps baseball close and affordable for all Tiger fans.
Hug Tiger Stadium
Come to Michigan and Trumbull to show your support for the Cochrane Plan and for saving Tiger Stadium.
June 19, 1990 Noon
At noon, we will join hands and surround our ball part. Our diamond ring will show we love the ball park and are determined to defend it.
Don't let the Tigers make the biggest error in baseball history. Stand up for Tiger Stadium.
Surround the stadium at noon and sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." The Tigers play Seattle at 1:35 p.m. For more information or if you'd like to volunteer to help, call the Tiger Stadium Fan Club at 964-5991.
Back the Cochrane Plan"
The inset on the bottom left reads "Assemble starting at 11 a.m. at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Michigan & Trumbull. Enjoy the music of See Dick Run."
