Before you decide to re-paint, definitely consider using Goof-Off on an old t-shirt rag to remove the *61 paint. I finally got around to doing a partial restore of my seats (beyond the good scrub down I gave them when they arrived 2 years ago) and am amazed at how good of a job the Goof-Off did in removing the movie paint. I was concerned it would eat up the plastic, but it didn’t at all. On the metal parts, I had to be a bit more careful not to rub too hard and remove the blue paint, but it was really easy. Replaced the hardware with stainless all around and these babies are looking almost better than they did new back in ‘77!

If anyone knows any info about getting a replacement number plate, please let me know.

I’ve decided to paint my seats. Too much of the green paint from Billy Crystal’s *61 is on the sides. Looks unbalanced. Wish I could go into his holy grail Yankee stadium and screw with the things he loved like that.

I have 2 sets of 3 attached seats I may want to sell if the price is right. They are green painted wood with cast iron frames(very heavy) from prior to plastic seats being installed. Very good condition! Stenciled seat #’s still very prominent.(14-15-16,18-19-20).Almost no rust on cast iron. Frames would have to be made to make them upright.

The seating manufacturer is American Seating Company. They are in Grand Rapids, MI. They still have parts for these seats for special order. You can get number plates from Detroit Name Plate Company.

You can use a product named Goof Off to get the green paint off the seats. The stuff is potent and stinks so don’t use it inside.

The seats were manufactured by American Seating. Replacements for the nuts and bolts can be had at any good hardware store.

Did anyone find out the manufacturer of the seats? I too would like to get replacement parts if available…springs, rubber washers etc.

P.S. We went by Tiger Stadium last week. It’s sad to see. The entire outfield wall is down now.

I really, really want a pair of these seats (or just 1) from Tiger Stadium. I can find ones on Ebay from Navin Field, but I am too young to *care* (have emotional ties) to Navin Field, but I grew up on Michigan and Trumbull. So if you have seats for sale or know where to get one, please email me at frymanfan24@yahoo.com
Thanks!

I am just starting to restore my seats. There is a light green paint on the plastic. It looks like an overspray from some other paint job at the stadium. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove this paint from the seats?
Thanks, Mike – Port Huron

How come when you look at the pictures of Tiger Stadium during the demolition it looks like there are plenty of seats still left in the upper deck that are just getting trashed? Are these available?

I just bought some spray paint at lowes. Make sure that you get the kind that binds with plastic. I picked up some vynal lettering for the D. I know that the seats never looked like that originally but I think they look pretty cool.
