Pontiac Silverdome, Multi-purpose stadium in Pontiac, United States
The Pontiac Silverdome featured a distinctive fiberglass fabric roof supported by air pressure and contained three tiers of blue seats surrounding an Astroturf playing field.
The stadium served as the primary venue for the Detroit Lions from 1975 until 2002, when the team relocated to the newly constructed Ford Field.
The stadium reached its attendance record during a visit from Pope John Paul II in 1987, gathering 93,682 people for a religious celebration.
The facility contained 93 executive suites, a club restaurant, and maintained a seating capacity of 82,600, making it the largest NFL stadium until 2000.
After standing abandoned for several years, the former NFL stadium sold at auction in 2009 for $550,000, approximately one percent of its construction cost.
