Page 12 -The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 17, 1989 Firm's recommendation dooms Tiger Stadium 'M' in chase for title Grapplers in second as second round nears conclusion DETROIT (AP) - Tiger Stadium, home of the Detroit Tigers for 76 years, should be abandoned for a new, open-air grass field, a consulting firm recommended. Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum Sports Facilities Group of Kansas City said in their report that a new stadium is preferable to building a domed, multi-purpose arena or to renovating the present stadium. The consultants estimated the new stadium would cost between $57 and $81 million, but with fees and other costs, the price could reach $117 million. A domed stadium would cost about $157 million, the report said. The recommended facility would seat 55,988 people and would have parking for 560 cars. Tiger Stadium seats 52,806 fans and has only privately operated parking lots. The future of the stadium, which has view-blocking pillars and outdated vending and restroom facilities, has been debated since at least 1970. Three sites in the neighborhood near Tiger Stadium previously have been suggested as locations for a new one. HOK last year was invited to come up with an inexpensive way to renovate Tiger stadium or design a new ballpark. The Detroit Baseball Club announced its support of the HOK plan yesterday, saying it "best enhances the interests of Tiger fans,. as well as the future of baseball in the city." Detroit manager Sparky An- derson and his Tigers may have to adapt to a new habitat. A consulting firm recommended yesterday that Tiger Stadium be abandoned. BY STEVEN COHEN SPECIAL TO THE DAILY OKLAHOMA CITY - After a disappointing third-place finish at the Big Ten championships, the fifth- ranked Michigan wrestling team is in a position to put that behind them at the NCAA championships. After the heavyweight matches in the second round, the Wolverines were in second place with 21.25 points. Oklahoma State was first with 25.25, followed by Michigan, then Oklahoma (21) and Arizona State (20.5). Iowa State was fifth with 19.5, Big Ten champ Iowa was in sixth with 17.5 points In yesterday's opening round, the Wolverines won six of eight matches. 126-pounder John Moore was pinned at six minutes 31 seconds T-SHIRT PRINTERY WE CAN TURN YOUR SKETCH I TO QUALITY T-SHIRT A A2'S FINEST& FASTEST * ONE WEEK SERVICE 1002 PONTIAC TR. - 994-1367 by third-seeded Kendall Cross of Oklahoma State while Sam Amine was pinned at 3:42 by No. 1 seed Tim Kreeger of Iowa State. If a wrestler loses an opening round match he can only advance to the next round if the person who beat him wins his next match. Both Moore and Amine stayed in the tournament and won their consolation matches. Michigan coach Dale Bahr was pleased with the Wolverine per- formance. "I think everyone wrestled to their ability or better except for (Joe) Pantaleo. I think it was a case of first match jitters for him." Pantaleo, the second-ranked 158- pounder defeated Mike Flynn of Edinboro by the narrow margin of 4- 3. In the next round Pantaleo returned to form with a 16-1 technical fall over Jay Landolfo of North Carolina. Other Wolverine wrestlers were more consistently impressive. Fifth- ranked 134-pounder John Fisher scored an 8-0 decision over Mike Moreno of Iowa State and a technical fall over Miles Nilson of Eastern . . Michigan. Fisher, who has lost the past three seasons in the quarterfinals, will face a formidable opponent in eighth-ranked Mike Lingenfelter. Larry Gotcher, fifth-seeded at 142 pounds, pinned his first round oppo- nent Danny Hayes of Missouri, after which he said "It feels good. That's an example of what I'm going to do." In his second round match Gotcher defeated Joe Cesari of North Carolina State 2-1, advancing him to the quarter-final rounds. Ninth-seeded Mike Amine, at 167 pounds, pinned Steve Blanner of Mis- souri in 2:56. In the second round, A- mine advanced with a 13-12 decision over Notre Dame's Chris Geneser. Unranked 190-pounder Fritz Lehrke and unranked heavyweight Bob Potokar impressed in the early rounds but fell late last night. Lehrke won his first two matches before he lost a heartbreaker to Chris Short of Minnesota 5-3. Potokar, who has suffered through a somewhat lackluster season defeated sixth-seed David Jones of Cal State- Fullerton 3-2 before losing in the second round to 11th-seed Chris Thornbury of Tennessee-Chattanooga 1-1 (regulation), 3-2. With all eight wrestlers stilll in contention, the sky is the limit for Michigan. But Iowa assistant coach Barry Davis warns, "It's too early. There are two days left. You don't count the first day, just the last day." I MAKE YOUR MOTHER HAPPY. Show her that good taste runs in the family. Show her she raised a smart kid.
