We switched it on bike life and visited Pontiac Michigan today... previous home to the Detroit Lions and decaying Pontiac Silverdome. I'm going to figure out how to get inside and explore the ruin where part of the Transformers movie was shot.

I like how this guy didn't have to bullshit on the title or thumbnail to get clicks. No, "exploring abandoned stadium and almost caught" or stick him talking to a cop in the thumbnail! Just a straight foward video that is this still fun and interesting to watch!
+mr .poopytime wow, this has to be one of the best comments ever. Thanks for recognizing authentic content without the click bait 🙌🏾
mr .poopytime fax!
+Ballinthegoat thanks friend for checking out the video
mr .poopytime and he got the views! Hard work is better than clickbate :)
mr .poopytimmmkk
thanks for recommending this youtube
Ryan Smith hi ryan
Ryan Smith yeah this video is cool.
Ryan Smith you’re everywhere, hop off
Ryan Smith thanks for the support
Every video i watch your in the comments
I love how casual he is about it. He doesn't try to add any fake drama or anything, he just let's the experience speak for itself
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Wow this where they had Wrestlemania 3 which was a big part of my childhood!! Sad that it is no longer.. thx bro!
It’s forever memorialized here
Right? Me too! This was awesome to watch.
Wrestlemania 3 was the event the made me fall in love with wrestling
Too bad Wrestlemania doesn't go the same way as the abandoned Silverdome
Cool.
What's Inside? Thanks friend
What's Inside? Hey I love u guys
woah now way
Hi
What's inside the Pontiac Silverdome?
i just keep visualising hulk hogan slamming andre the giant right there!
Matt Guy so awesome
Anton Daniels awesome to see how you got into the dome too, cool vid!
Matt Guy thanks... no secrets here with me bro. What I know, you'll know
This is such a classic I rewatch a few times a year. Also an unrepeatable piece of history since it’s long gone now
Rip silverdome1975-2017
It was dead log before today... they just buried it 😂
Died in 02 decayed until 2017
Awesome!
Abandoned Exploration Squad 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
All of those cars were parked there because of the lawsuit against Volkswagen about them lying about how clean their diesel vehicles burned. Since the Silverdome lot was not being used, they just put them there.
Anton Daniels what kind of bike do you have
Jackie Murphy Honda CBR650F
Abandoned Exploration Squad hey look it's you
LOL it started to look like a horror movie in the restroom.. "You know it's easy to get in here at night. But it's better to film in the daytime. You know what im sayin?" hahahahhahahaha... it sounded like you scared as fuck.
lolhahah21 you have no idea what you may run into in these places. It's ALWAYS scary 😂
Let him go a lil north to Flint... Pontiac is not all that bad. Detroit is bad.. but FIint mofo's literally don't care who or what color you are. Shady mofos out there.
lolhahah21 ik
Great video!!! Nice to see this before they tear it down.
ConnorTV yup, they are tearing it down now
:(
+Huub Huijbens what’s wrong?!
Anton Daniels and it didnt come down lol
It is unkillable
That was life changing. A lot of real courage and reward shown. Thanks for sharing.
That was a great video man, it's crazy how that place looks now. I remember going to games there and now look at it. Thanks for the tour bro but I wouldn't have went into that bathroom lol.
Sub Zero 😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it. I do it for you!
They had so many cool events there then I remember they turned it into a roller rink and a movie theater or something like that
Honest Cigar Reviews drive in theater last I remember
Yeah, I remember seeing kill bill back in 03' there. The drive in was in the parking lot though, would've been way cooler if it was in the actual dome.
+TrevorBrownrigg yup, it was a drive in at one point. Good memories!
and the wrestlemania
i remember being a young kid roller skating there
Used to go there all the time as a kid. Now, as an adult, I drive by it every day on my commute. Thanks for sharing, this was really interesting and oddly nostalgic.
+Cam D. You’re welcome my friend
i would of went on the field and just imagined how barry sanders used to run all over it i remember when the browns left cleveland and i became a lions fan because of barry sanders wow that was cool
I would’ve, but it was submerged in water
50,000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town.
Lone Badger yeah, it’s pretty desolate
I don't think no one gets this reference😂
+Anthony Doe thanks for visiting friend
Anton Daniels Its an old Call of Duty reference, I don't know how I still remember the line.
+Lone Badger 😂😂😂
All of those vehicles are the recalls from Volkswagon
James McIntyre bingo!
James McIntyre figure VW would have that many recalls
I'm surprised that's not the head quarters for every homeless person around.
+Dustin McCoy nah, nothing around there but office buildings
Anton Daniels just recently they had people steal those cars and replace the vin and sell them at auction in Tennessee I know because I work security there
Excellent video of a building with a lot of history. Thanks for sharing with us.
+Billy Bob thank you for visiting and checking out the channel. I really appreciate you.
The place that drew the all time indoor attendance record of 93.000+ ppl when Hulk Hogan faced Andre The Giant at WM3!! Bigger, Better, Badder! ;)
I am not from America and its just quite astonishing to see this stadium in this sate, that held such a high regard for such a long time.
Thank you for sharing
You’re exactly right
Anton..When I was a kid, back in the Billy Sim's (AKA The Space Shuttle) the Silverdome was so technically advanced. So sad to see it in it's current state. Great video. Thanks man.
They really wanted to move downtown
Dude it is awesome that you had an opportunity to do this before they blew the stadium up. Thank you for allowing the future to see what this stadium looked like before it was destroyed.
No problem, thanks for the support
Hey Anton! I Live on the East side, Pretty close to the Silverdome. And after seeing your video a couple months back, I wanted to go so bad and get a glimpse in person of my childhood. But a month or two after this video they started demo and it was never like the way you had seen it, and as of yesterday i'm sure you know they imploded it. You legit have made the VERY LAST video of what the Silverdome was. This video truly means alot to me and brings back so many memories. Thank you so much for exploring it and sharing it with all of us here, I'm forever grateful for I never got to see it in person one last time, and I believe you're the last civilian to see and experience the entire Silverdome structure, and all off the memories it holds.
Green things are turf, soooo many memories of the dome, where I watched my very first football game, first concert, so many flashbacks watching this video.
I can remember going there as young adults and going to the very top on the catwalk unavailable feeling of smallness in compared to the size of the structure. I have walked the entire building from top to bottom sound intro room players locker rooms everywhere in the building while it was operational before they gave up on it but after the lions left. I have walked that field and done a 360 and it’s unbelievably incredible something that you just can’t replace.
Jeremiah Lapinski that’s pretty incredible. That’s the one thing I didn’t do was get to check out the locker rooms
Most people remember the Lions, but I went to a Michigan Panthers game there during the brief time that was a thing. Thanks for risking life and bike to show us!
Preston Nevins no problem, glad I made it out alive 😉
This dude is cool. He doesn’t click bait and he doesn’t break or vandalize anything. Keep up the good content.
Hey man. Thanks for the great video. Ive had plenty of memories there growing up.
Keep yourself safe and take care.
Thanks friend. I appreciate you.
those cars are not for sale because of huge VW recall .. they were forced to buy them back from customers. thats were they decided to store them until they destroy them.
You’re correct friend
Put some gas in one of them and give me a set of keys along with a bottle of Jack Daniels and a little something to smoke and watch me tear some shit up. Need them destroyed? Watch this..........
Man wonder if they got any gti’s? I might be taking a flight to michigan soon...
Yeah, but how are you going to convince the state to let you register the car? What's ridiculous about this is everyone acts like VW committed mass murder. There have been several other brands doing the SAME thing but no media shitstorm over those.
GM is doing almost the same thing:
money.cnn.com/2017/05/25/news/companies/gm-emissions-cheating/index.html
Ford is just as guilty:
jalopnik.com/lawsuit-accuses-ford-of-cheating-diesel-emissions-on-50-1821962910
And the "uber-clean" Japanese brand Nissan:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5933035/Nissan-says-exhaust-tests-altered-latest-scandal.html
Seems the media have a vendetta against VW so they went all out but ignored what almost everyone else was doing.
Drive in movie theatre
I was looking at every possible Image of this abandoned on Google Images. Thankfully I found this on TH-cam in my recommendations. Really fascinating! Kinda sad too. Wrestlemania 3 was here in 1987, it was a sold out crowd of 93k people, all these seats were filled. So weird to see it empty, abandoned and now demolished. Amazing stuff dude! Keep up the good work
Thanks
VERY good. I have been curious about the SilverDome for years. Thank you.
You’re welcome friend
Love watching videos on abandoned places and this is a real fun watch. Nice video my friend!
+Loryder711 thank you friend... I have many more on the channel I think you’ll enjy
Should’ve taken some turf off the field
Kachow TN it was wet down there, didn’t want to get attacked by sharks 🤣
The field look like a lake wym
Anton Daniels yea man I wanted u to walk around the field,But it was too wet? Not safe??
+Abraham Rivera it was flooded with water, wish I could’ve
First one to the concert ahahaha
Max Willson 😂😂😂
Max, more like "I'm here! Oh, damn. The concert is TOMORROW."
I still come back and watch this video every few months still amazing
I do also... thanks
That's so cool. What a relic indeed.
And now gone forever
Good memories from the old Silverdome. I remember watching the Pistons and the Celtics in the 1988 NBA playoffs on TV here in Brazil; in 1990, I was an exchange student in Michigan and watched live the Packers and the Lions play there... then I watched Brazil x Sweden in the 1994 USA FIFA World Cup. Too sad it was abandoned and imploded.
Some things are better gone than keeping around I guess
Wrestlemania III.
Epic event
I went here probably 3 or 4 times as a kid, actually have some pictures of me in front of the pillars. Huge swell of nostalgia seeing this but a little heart broken with the waste. Thanks for the video.
It is super satisfying to listen to him talk while he is riding the motorcycle
+Billxbolt 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Interesting to see how the stadium itself is like built into the ground when Anton entered the stadium over the barricade he was at ground level outside but once he was inside he was in the upper tiers and the pitch itself is quite a bit lower.
+Jason Moyle that’s a great observation. I never even paid much attention to that. Is that common with the newer stadiums?
what a great vid!!! thanks for sharing!!
Joe P thanks for watching
I went to look at the site yesterday and it was completely gone, so demolition work completed a while ago. Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome
Great video!! Just such a real good video no bs! Thank you!
This is amazing man!!!
MuiTube you’re more amazing for watching.
Anton Daniels if you ever find yourself in Melbourne, Australia hit me up. We can go urbex
Very well made video, you are amazing at doing this!
Turkka Häkkinen I’m so glad you appreciate this
Awesome video. Straight and to the point. Love this.
Subscribed. I am an 'Abandoned Venue' horror. Your video is the type of perspective of abandoned stadiums I love to watch. Thank you!
I appreciate you so much. Thank you friend.
Thats the last time youll be exploring this Stadium
This is like my memorial of it
IMO the Georgia Dome was the biggest waste of money I've ever seen.. Not only that when it was first built it wasn't done in Falcons colors. Everytime I looked at it, it reminded me of a circus tent. then they sunk in all that money to remolded it in 2008. I think they spent like 300 and some odd million dollars on a paint job and red chairs and it was only open for 24 years. 1992-2016 smh
Our ability to waste is amazing
The Georgia Dome was a true money pit.
And then you had Turner Field... another great investment that stood the test of time. WTF Atlanta...
How about the Sky Dome... some 500 million to build?? and rogers bought it for 25 million.
TheToyTable that was built in the 80s, the Jays still play there and the CFL Argos had 25 seasons there. Little better than Turner Field...
I am from UK but knew all about this stadium. Loved your video and now I've subscribed...Awesome!
Thanks for the sub my friend
This dudes channel rocks! So does his attitude/vibe.
+RainGaming32 1 woohoo! Glad you like what’s happening here. I appreciate you!
I enjoyed this vid. And I like how you do your vids the way you do them is just cool to me.
Bluecrayon 007 wow, thank you for the compliment friend
First vid I every saw on your channel and right when it was done I Liked, Subbed, and turned on Notifications. 😃
Bluecrayon 007 you’re so freakin’ awesome!
Great job Anton. Lots of explores have two or more person's. I'm impressed that you do it on your own. Cheers..
I don’t like being slowed down 😂
Keep the videos coming. Places like this deserve to be documented and remembered. Thank you, urbexers, for keeping these places alive. Be safe and keep it wise.
Thanks friend
I love this guy. Takes nerve to go in there and make a good video. Well done. Just subbed
Thanks friend 🙌🏾
Thank you for this I wish I was there with you walking around seeing it did that water stink
Steve Leahy I don't remember smelling much of anything from the water. 👍🏾
Amazing, so interesting to see this. Thanks for sharing bro
Thanks for watching
you crawling past that broken & jagged pane of glass is enough to make me pass out.
great upload. gonna check out your others.
noneyerbidness thanks friend. Perhaps I should put a disclaimer on this video... don’t do what I do!
This dude is cool and funny. He is a great explorer.
Thanks my friend
@@AntonDaniels you welcome my buddy
Cool stuff, I live near this and have done a couple of Drone flights. Great video
Lorddarthvader1701 thanks bro
+Trextheminner that would be awesome
Thank you so much for this video man. Really really awesome to watch, as a Detroiter at heart.
I appreciate you 🙏🏾
Wow that was one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. First of all, i can't believe that you went in there. But just to see that place now after watching WM3 a million times. That place used to seem like the biggest place ever when I was younger
illegal but I like it
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@AntonDaniels 😂😂😂
Too bad you didn't get to go to the dressing room still a great clip! You should do a part two and go all the way to the dressong rooms,that would be so cool!
estigia thanks... that would’ve been cool. If I had a sense of where the dressing rooms were, I definitely would’ve explored them.
I'm from Pontiac and lived right up the street from it. Great memories....
Come see me at the restaurant
@@AntonDaniels When I come in town I'll definitely come check it out!!!
Who else came back to this video after they failed to implode it...
👋🏾
Anton Daniels love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Nice to see another Michigan vlogger! This was so cool! Sending love as a new subscriber.
It's Fit Nic thanks friend. I subbed your channel also... keep up the good work
Anton Daniels Thank you!
I'm from Kentucky and never seen the Silverdome thanks for the video you're a cool dude with a nice bike stay safe
Loved every second of the video, keep it up man, love watching people explore abandoned areas.
+Sergio R thank you so much my friend
Nice video, I’m watching this today, after it’s supposed to be demolished. I’m from Coldwater Michigan about 2 hours away from there but those Barry Sanders memories fade back into my memory🙃
It’ll forever be memorialized here 😉
Dang that’s insane! I’m from Flint and really wanna go down there and check out the stadium! I haven’t been there since I was a little kid and don’t remember anything from the stadium. Might at least go down there and fly my drone over and check it out!
DeviousMarineHD I think they're in the process of tearing it down now
How’s that water
GTOWNJAKE beat me to it!
DeviousMarineHD How does your water taste?
DeviousMarineHD uh..... sorry about your water....?
I wasn’t able to travel to Detroit much until the last few years. Back in 2015 I was in Detroit for a friends birthday party and after I figured I would drive by the silver dome. I did and I parked right outside the gates and went to take a picture and my phones camera wouldn’t work because I had dropped it the night before at my friends bday party. So I didn’t get any pictures before it was demolished. All I have is memories. Great video!!
You’ll always have this video 😉
awesome, thanks for your time to video!😃 I worked there off and on , as a security guard for a couple years
Wow, I bet you have a few stories
+Anton Daniels oh I do!
Nice video I subbed by the way keep up the good work👍🏾
RJ Gray14 thanks so much friend
Should have found the locker rooms and that good stuff. But awesome video man! New sub!!
lance Chilton thank you so much. I appreciate you
very cool. Its not like you were causing trouble. Just safely simply exploring. Very cool stuff. Fun to explore on a motorcycle
+adventure rhoades thanks friend. Yeah, it’s pretty opening to do this.
That was cool. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome friend
We threw a couple raves at the dome back in 2000 and the 2001. Yaktown police stopped by a few times and after a "donation" of cover charges they just left us alone and we danced till the sun came up. I lived in Lake Orion and used to hit up the parking lot during Lions games and concerts. Me and my friend would fill up the bed of his truck with recycled bottles and cans which in Michigan is the only state that has a 10 cent refund. Every 10 cans is a dollar. Sometimes we would make $500 in less than 20 minutes. Best haul ever was the Pink Floyd "Division Bell" concert we made $7,800 in 1 day and could hear most of the concert from outside. Good times! I wonder what will happen to the Palace of Auburn Hills now that the Pistons are back in Detroit?
Just more bad news for Pontiac and surrounding towns economies. Glad I moved to San Diego where the sun's always shining, 76 degrees is average temp, rarely rains and the surf is always up. Sucks we lost the Chargers but they were a shit team anyways.
Rhino Xeros bro... this may perhaps be the best comment I’ve ever read. You sir are phenomenal... and what I would give to go back in time and be at those raves!
You definitely earned a new subscriber!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Anton Daniels 🙌🙌🙌
There’s been a lot of videos like this, but this is the best one yet!!!!
🙌🏾 what a compliment!
Great video!! Brings back a bunch of memories!!!
It was a great stadium at the time
@4:50 You know how much work it would be to tear this up? No, they had no idea how hard it would be actually.
😂😂😂
Good job man you just earned a sub!
+Extreme ArthurTV I’m grateful
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I had went there many times. It was such a great stadium. Awesome job Anton
Thank you Mike
Years later my 1st time seeing this. Pretty dope.
If there's two things I learned from this video is-
1. Decaying infrastructure and the legality following it are scary yet fascinating.
2. Get an M-class license and a motorcycle.
+bigad97 😂😂😂 Two very great points my friend
You need to start a exploration series! It will be so awesome!!
deltas gaming I certainly consider that
Probably the realest urban explorer, looking forward to watching the rest of his videos
You’re going to love them!
I enjoyed a lot of Billy Simms, Barry Sanders, touchdowns in that dome 🏈💪🏾🏆
your video inspired them to tear it down
I truly believe that
Yeah those VW's were reccaled because of that stupid ass environmental cheeting thing which I'm pretty sure they aren't a threat.
Joshua Hipp yeah, you're right.
With the scale of Euro norms from 0 to 6 (pre 80's - 2013), they was technically Euro5 cars badged as Euro6. Better than EPA2 norm, easily!
Good video very interesting to see what the Sliverdome looks like years later after it closed down!
It’s demolished now
Very cool to see, thanks for the good video! Brings back many memories of events there... In a few days it will a pile of rubble when they demo it...
That’s correct. It’s supposed to take a year to completely demolish it. Thanks for visiting friend.
Finally TH-cam recommended something good...
🙌🏾
Love how he said “honey, where’s my super suit!”
+Knockoff Yachty 😂😂😂
I remember seeing this years ago when you were still a small channel I didn't know you were gonna be much bigger, i was recommended one of your recent videos and realized your channel has blown up since I saw this video.
Awesome video! A quick tour of the city, some funny jokes, a little cost/benefit questioning and analysis, creepy stairs and an adrenaline rush from sirens, lol! Thanks man.
You make me look really good friend 🙌🏾
A police siren in Detroit? No way... Awesome adventure man. Thanks for sharing. I loved it.
Scott Hill glad you enjoyed it friend!
