There was a park at Michigan and Trumbull before Navin Field/Briggs Stadium. Built in 1896, Bennett Park would be the first place the Tigers ever took the field as a team, it was where the Tigers called home when they officially became a major league team in 1901, and it was the last place the Chicago Cubs won a World Series for 108 years.
In 1896 it played host to the first night game in Detroit history, when string lights were installed above the stadium so a double header against the Cincinnati Reds could go on.
