As each 15,000-pound cable whipped down through seat after seat, down went the massive roof of Pontiacs Silverdome stadium. These huge steel ropes went swinging through the stadium, slicing through the stands, causing destruction with the force of a bomb to butterfly wings, a hot knife through soft butter, decimating each concrete wall like it was nothing, knocking out entire sections of stairs and bending metal like a child angry at their Play-Doh. We could see where these had cut through, as they had created a straight line uninterrupted in even the slightest bit by any obstacle standing in their path.\r
\r
The idea of a grand stadium for Michigan was proposed in 1966, with urban planner Don Davidson ing as partial designer and architect on the project. The Pontiac Silverdome Stadium was built for $55.7 million dollars, completed and opened in 1975. Architects ODell, Hewlett and Luckenbach had ed as the domes main architects, fashioning the design after the Ancient Roman Colosseum. In new, the stadium was sold at auction for $583,000. This exhibits quite a great financial shift in the areas economy, heavily showcasing how much has changed.\r
\r
Nearly 1.5 million cubic yards of earth were moved during the construction of this huge stadium, while 1,700 tons of structural steel held the enormous structure together. Overhead, covering the entire stadium was a dome; a 10-acre Teflon-coated fiberglass roof to encase what would come to be a central stadium for Super Bowls, concerts, events, hey maybe even the Pope would grace the seats of this stadium. Oh wait, he did.\r
\r
With 80,000 seats rounding the stadiums sides, the Silverdome was quite a large and impressive stadium to stand atop and just marvel at.\r
