That's a nice line from "Field of Dreams", but it's nonsense in the real world. Just ask the people of Pontiac, Michigan.
For more than 20 years, the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit hosted many of the greatest spectacles. The World Cup, The Super Bowl and the NBA Finals took place there. Led Zeppelin and Pope John Paul II both took the stage there, though not together. Wrestlemania III set a record for indoor attendance at a sporting event in America there.
Now? There's nothing there.
Detroiturbex.com, a website devoted to the preservation of fading Detroit-area landmarks, has shined a spotlight on the now-abandoned Silverdome, and what's in view isn't pretty. The stadium's fabric roof has collapsed, exposing the field below to the elements. The seats will be torn out and sold later this year. The suites are being left to rot.
