but all are housed in separate facilities
You'd think in a city with a troubled economy, this would be stupid. I guess Auburn Hills is a separate jurisdiction though, which is nice for the Pistons. What is the Silverdome doing these days? I mean, I know the Lions wanted to move downtown. But are you gonna tell me the Silverdome is shittier than what the Superdome was before renovation? The RCA Dome? geez...do something with it, or don't build it out there to begin with.
Reminds me of Richfield Coliseum. The Cleveland Cavs played there. It was in the middle of nowhere. This new arena lasted a handful of years and was dumped...not because it couldn't support NBA, but because they built it too far for fans to travel to games.
And what's up with Miami building and tearing down arenas? Wasn't Miami Arena a dozen years old or so when they demolished it for Amer. Airlines Arena?

The Silverdome wasn't a bad facility and Pontiac wasn't in the middle of nowhere. The city of Pontiac (which owns the Silverdome) refused to make concessions with the Lions when in came to money (concession stand, parking, etc.) so the Lions built their own facility downtown.
Now the Silverdome hosts mostly Monster Truck Rally's.
