Default Tiger Stadium flag pole

Is it still there? I fiqure if its the last thing standing they could keep it up and just build around it.University of Pitt kept part of the outfield wall from Forbes Field.

Is it possible to even move the pole in one piece?

You can move anything if you have the bucks to do so. I recall an old lighthouse out east being moved,
several miles inland to protect it, a few years ago.

Oh yeah, it was the Cape Hatteras lighthouse: http://www.labs.net/anaiselise/lhse/mov.htm

Maybe a smaller scale plan would be for a park, maybe a baseball field, and leave the flagpole as it stands.
