Emergency Financial Manager Fred Leeb says attempts to sell the Pontiac Silverdome have not been successful, and hes prepared to hand it over to an auctioneer if it will speed up the sale of the empty landmark. Leeb tells The Oakland Press that Pontiac will continue negotiating with potential buyers, but the Detroit suburb also will set up a worldwide auction. The city spends about $1.5 million annually to maintain the structure. Source: Yahoo Sports.com
Pontiac is getting what they deserve.......the Lions would've stayed but the contract with the Silverdome would not let them share in the profits of concessions and what not........I've had tons of good times at the Dome..... It was easier to get to and what not but I Love Ford Field's design and settings inside..........
