Bennett Park - Definition and Overview

Bennett Park was a baseball stadium, named after Charlie Bennett, that formerly existed in Detroit, Michigan. It was home to the Detroit Wolverines from 1896-1899 and to the Detroit Tigers from 1901-1911. The stadium sat 5,000 when opened in 1896 and was gradually expanded to 14,000 by the time that it was closed after the 1911 season. Between the 1911 and 1912 seasons, Bennett Park was demolished, and Tiger Stadium was built on the same site, though the new stadium was shifted by 90 degrees, with home plate where the left field corner had formerly been.
