Guys.............Hello. These are the two large, original, section direction signs from the upper deck in Tiger Stadium dating back to about 1938 when the outfield upper deck was built. We purchased both signs in the city's very unorganized online auction in 2007. Each measures roughly 4'x8'. As shown in the photo, one of our two original signs is on the top with the wood frame and flaking paint, and the lower sign was an aluminum overlay that was pop-riveted to the original with white vinyl decals at some point in later years to probably 'freshen up' their look by stadium crews who were tired of painting the originals. From what we saw when picking up our signs at the stadium, even all of the smaller section signs that measured about 4'x4' had these aluminum overlays.....so each sign was really 2 signs. Once home, we immediately popped off the crappy, newer overlays to reveal the original beauties underneath. The last photo was taken through the center field tunnel to the field with the famous flag pole's white base just to the right.....and most of the orange and blue seats already yanked out and sold by the crew.
