What Will Happen to the Metrodome?
(Filed under: Sports) With all the stadium talk nobody ever discusses what will become of the Metrodome, the perfectly useful stadium that’s barely 25 years old. A similar stadium has met a similar fate: The Pontiac Silverdome outside Detroit. It was once home to the NBA’s Pistons and the NFL’s Lions. Now both teams have swanky new homes (sort of: the Pistons moved out in 1988). The Silverdome has drive thru movies in the parking lot and rollerblades in its concourse. It will probably be torn down next year.
