Pontiac -- Nearly 35 years after taxpayers spent $55.7 million building the Pontiac Silverdome and a year after a $20 million sale fell through, city officials have sold the arena once called the most desirable property in Oakland County.

The price: $583,000.

"This was a giveaway," said David J. Leitch, a broker with an Auburn Hills based realty firm.

Detriot is a totally bankrupt city. It is scary how that town is totally economically collapsed. Unfortunately, I am not all that surprised. You can buy a home in Detriot for $10k.

I'm sure you can buy a home there for $1.

But the place in question is in Pontiac, a burb well outside the city.

500 k looks cheap but im sure the property taxes are not.

 

[Sivy]

Thats it??? I could have bought the ledgendery place where Hulk Hogan Body slammed Andre The Giant for that cheap?

 

[ScrewDrvr]

its not like they just paid 500k and thats it. It cost 1.1 million per year just for MANDATORY maintenance of the place.

[BradyFTW!]
