Pontiac Silverdome sells for $583,000
Sorry if repost:

http://money.cnn.com/2009/11/17/news...uyer/index.htm

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- An unidentified Canadian real estate company was the winning bidder for the Silverdome, snatching it up for a mere fraction of its original value.

A Toronto-based family-owned company bid $583,000 for the under-used stadium on Monday, which is currently owned by the City of Pontiac, Mich., according to auctioneer Williams & Williams.

The company plans to refurbish the Silverdome into a stadium for men's Major League Soccer and women's professional soccer teams, said the auctioneer. While the stadium was the former home of the National Foodball League's Detroit Lions, it also played host to the World Cup in 1994, when Brazil beat Italy in a knuckle-biter that ended in a penalty shootout.

The auctioneer Williams & Williams, based in Tulsa, Okla., said it will not identify the buyer "until the final details are worked out and the sale closes."

"The Silverdome will now be in the hands of professionals who can devote their time to transform this high-profile property into a vital asset instead of enabling it to continue to languish as an empty facility," said Fred Leeb, the emergency financial planner for Pontiac, in a press release.

Sounds somewhat like a repeat of the Astrodome demise but in a less viable city.

Can you imagine that? You could barbecue in the yard even when it was cold out. You'd get your other meals at the concession stands. You'd watch TV on the ultra-big screen. Need a quiet place to read? Go up to the nosebleed seats. 100 bathrooms. Your own luxury boxes for when company arrives.

Dang, I would've wanted that place.
I heard it's haunted though.

Did you miss the part about the $1.5M annual maintenance bill?

Heh, I wonder how much it would take just heat the place up enough to keep the pipes from freezing?

Here is one Nancy's take on it from flicker.

The home of the Detroit Lions from it's opening in 1975 until 2001, the largest crowd to ever attend an event here was 93,173 for Wrestlemania. The last event held here was a Truck Monster Jam on January 7, 2006. They attempted to show drive-in movies in the parking lot to raise revenue. I played a soccer game here once, the field was one of the worst I have ever played on. Basically green concrete.

They probably just haven't done good preventive stuff. I'd caulk the windows and seal the parking lot real good and cut that down a lot. Plus, the ceiling fan.

It may be a steal, but if you lived there, you'd have to move to Detroit.
So that's a big minus right there...
