I saw that news story. Unfortunately that was one of the reason they cancelled the annual "Tigers Fan-Fest" in 2012. I was pretty bummed about the cancellation because I had every intention of going and freezing my butt of ..... but the anticipation of the refurbed tigers and the new scoreboard were worth it. I have some GREAT opening day pics of the new scoreboard too.

Ahhh .... opening day
I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Edited to add:
They said that when first installed those tigers weighed about 3,000 pounds each ..... when removed they weighed 10,000 pounds each. They were full of water!!
