Pontiac Silverdome, Multi-purpose stadium in Pontiac, United States

The Pontiac Silverdome was a multipurpose stadium in Pontiac, Michigan, with a fiberglass fabric roof held up by air pressure. The facility had three tiers of blue seats around an artificial turf field and could hold more than 80,000 spectators.

The Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium opened in 1975 at a cost of $55.7 million, after Pontiac was chosen over sites including the Michigan Fairgrounds and the Detroit Riverfront. The Detroit Lions played there from 1975 to 2001, then moved to Ford Field in downtown Detroit. The Detroit Pistons shared the venue from 1978 to 1988, and the Michigan Panthers of the USFL used it in 1983 and 1984.

On 29 March 1987 WrestleMania III drew a reported 93,173 spectators, the largest recorded attendance for an indoor sporting event in North America until 2010. The same year, on 19 September, Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass in the stadium before 90,000 worshippers. Elvis Presley had played a New Year's Eve concert there on 31 December 1975 to more than 60,000 people.

The facility had 93 executive suites and a club restaurant for guests with special needs. Access to different areas was provided through ramps and elevators inside the building.

In November 2009 the dome and its 127-acre site went to auction and sold to Triple Properties Investment Group for 583,000 dollars, against a 1975 construction cost of 55.7 million dollars. The stadium reopened on 17 April 2010 with a monster truck event. Its demolition on 3 December 2017 failed when wiring faults left about ten percent of the charges unfired; the next day a second blast brought it down.
