Pontiac Silverdome Auction Preview: Episode 3

[@CAPDude44]

RIP Silverdome. A Detroit sports icon.

[@Cameestewee]

So the playing surface was below ground?

[@earlylatebrunch]

This is pretty cool - I'm pretty sure whoever bought it has no plans of keeping all this old infrastructure though

Been to the SIlverdome countless times... it is an awesome building even though it is 35 years old. It is absolutely GIGANTIC. I loved going there... got to watch Barry Sanders play here while i was growing up, my first monster truck show, supercross, the detroit pistons.... a lot of great memories at the Dome.

Wow sad that the person bought it and just let it all go into disrepair. Sad waste of resources, but they probably bought it for what it would cost to maintain for a year

[@xReviveMeFoolx]

The company that purchased the Silverdome bought it for $538k I believe. They then scrapped it. Sold the copper wire for $93k, cut the turf into squares to sell it, sold some of the seats as well. The auction they held to sell it off piece by piece made a bit over $1,000,000. Now what's left is just sitting there rotting away. They won't tare it down. It'll cost to much and eat up the profit they've made off of it. I don't understand why the city of Pontiac sold it for such s small amount. Last I heard it's up for sale. Asking price is $30,000,000 that's what it should have sold for in the first place. It's sad to see what those jackasses have done to it.

Not true that they cut the turf into squares, when I was there last year they had THREE full field turf cut outs just rotting away in the parking lot

[@xReviveMeFoolx]

Mike Marion The Lions turf was cut and sold. They obviously had more than one turf. Here's a short article about it. www.google.com/amp/detroit.cbslocal.com/2015/09/02/turf-from-abandoned-silverdome-on-sale-again/amp/?client=safari

This building holds the alltime indoor attendance record at 93,173 people, Wrestlemania 3..March 29, 1987

[@3089280288]

Heard it sold for $500k.

[@legobuddhaman]

It was sold for the price of my house

[@chperezjr]

Bought it for pennies out of the dollar, let it fell into disrepair and wanted to sell it for around 24 million dollars, now gone

[@robminmonaca]

Less than 5 years later the roof would be gone and the turf would be replaced with water,dirt,and algae.

[@clterry07]

if I woulda had the money I would bought it and restored it ....

[@nickyoung630]

I'd buy it, Get an apartment built in it for myself and rent it out as event space

[@dfk4500]

[@allenbass5131]
