Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium has landed a $20,000 sponsorship from Comerica Bank. The historic Negro League stadium is currently in redevelopment.
The stadium is one of the few remaining Negro League stadiums in the country. The $50,000 grant will go towards planning and assessing the current site.
Hatch Art will turn it into an artist residency program focusing on installation art. A fundraising campaign will be launched soon for necessary restorations to the property.
