Not really that important, but The Palace Of Auburn Hills always had a nice ring to it. Until I watched the Bad Boys documentary, I did not know Pistons used to play at Pontiac Silverdome. What happened to it?

It's been vacant since the Lions moved into Ford Field over a decade ago. The parking lot has been used as a drive in movie theater, youth soccer park, and with Chrysler's headquarters being about a half mile away, they use the parking lot to store company vehicles and for overflow parking at company events. I think the plans are to knock it down soon but I'm not 100% sure on that. The land isn't nearly as valuable as where the Palace is so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Some cool pics since the roof is now gone. Makes the Astrodome look damn near usable.
