The Popmart tour took U2 around the world, but those who were in Detroit on Halloween of 1997 will always remember the show on Larry Mullen Jr.'s birthday.

Then again, the Silverdome didn't really "implode" either. The first time, anyways.

Everyone knows that the Detroit Lions have never won, or even appeared in, the Super Bowl. But the NFL's bigger-than-life title game has come to Michigan twice in its history.

1975 has left the building. A festive crowd turned up in Detroit to ring in the new year and give the King of Rock and Roll his biggest audience.

There is a unique lingering piece of Pontiac Sliverdome history and the state of Michigan is putting it up for auction.

On March 29th, 1987, 93,173 people jammed their way into the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan to see if the WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan could defeat the then undefeated Andre The Giant.

The 2018 World Cup begins on June 14th and with the first game to be played next week, a look back to 1994 when the eyes of the world were on The Silverdome.

This Sunday, the Pontiac Silverdome will finally come down. The partial implosion scheduled for Sunday at 8:30 A.M. will be the official end of this former home of the Detroit Lions.
