The Detroit Police Athletic League’s (PAL) stadium under construction on Michigan Avenue in Corktown has a new presenting sponsor. The new facility located at the former Tiger Stadium will be called “The Corner Ballpark presented by Adient.”

Adient has given a multi-year gift of $2.8 million to PAL. It’s the largest in the history of the organization.

....

“Their support is going to help PAL improve and provide quality programming at every corner of Detroit, with a goal to increase the number of youth served from 13,830 in 2016 to 20,000 by 2020,” said Detroit PAL CEO Tim Richey. “Adient and the Adient Foundation have shown tremendous commitment to the city of Detroit and this gift will help provide PAL’s character-building programs to tens of thousands of kids each year at The Corner Ballpark presented by Adient and all across Detroit.”

The new stadium will be home to PAL’s headquarters, the Willie Horton Field of Dreams that will have a 2,500-seat capacity, a banquet facility, leadership center, dugouts, and locker rooms.



Earlier this year, it was announced that Meijer will support the Willie Horton Field of Dreams for $750,000.

Boston-Edison house snags record bid in Land Bank auction
$240,100

We posted this house a couple months ago as it was up for bid on the Detroit Land Bank Building Detroit daily auction. These Boston-Edison homes are quite popular, and this and another caused some traffic issues on the site. The house went back up on the auction yesterday and posted a record for the Detroit Land Bank auctions. The winning bid was $240,100.

It’s pretty wild, considering it’s on the west side of the Lodge and other homes in this area have listed and sold for around that price range. This 3,400-square-foot house wasn’t in nearly as bad condition as many auction houses, and still had some beautiful character to it. Those buying through the auction know they have to fix up the houses in a certain time frame (historical districts receive a little more time), so we’re looking forward to seeing the rehab on this one. Here are a few (two-year-old) pics inside.
