| Pontiac Silverdome may be headed for auction block |
|
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) -The former home of the Detroit Lions may be headed to the auction block. Emergency Financial Manager Fred Leeb says attempts to sell the Pontiac Silverdome have not been successful, and he's 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. Pontiac has tried repeatedly to sell the 80,000-seat domed stadium since the Lions left in 2002 to move to Ford Field in Detroit. --- Information from: The Oakland Press, http://www.theoaklandpress.com |
