U.S.: For sale: The saddest stadium in the world, the Pontiac Silverdome

Pontiac Silverdome
  • It holds 80,000 people. It held the Detroit Lions for a good 20 years. It’s just sitting around right now. Nobody’s using it. Anyone want to travel to sunny Pontiac, Michigan and buy the Pontiac Silverdome? It’s for sale, guys. You know, the ShortFormBlog staff needed new offices. Anyone want to convert this thing into a loft? source
