Shortly after the demo contract is signed. i.e. Nobody knows yet. Last I heard they were just putting together the engineering studies to try and decide what to keep. |

They should give us the oppurtunity to tour the place one last time before they tear it down |

Toledo, That would be a good idea. It would also be an excellent opportunity to highlight what areas will be kept and so on. |

And an excellent opportunity for those guys who tried to steal the urinal at the last game to complete their work! I agree that it would be a great idea, but I'd be very worried about folks pillaging the place if I were running the tour or in charge of selling the stuff off. |

Why not let them tour through it after the place is cleaned out for the auction? Sort of like a viewing before a funeral, only you charge people $5 a head to go in and have one more look. Do that over a month and it could generate a little bit more money to help offset demolition costs. |

City would probably not go for the tour idea. Liability concerns etc. Better to remember it as it once was. |

Personally, I'm not sure I'd WANT to see the inside now. From the pics I've seen, it looks rather shitty now... |

Besides, if ever there was a time to open The Corner up, it was during last summer's All Star Game. They could have had the home run contest there. |
