What Will Happen to the Metrodome?
(Filed under: Sports)
With all the stadium talk nobody ever discusses what will become of the Metrodome, the perfectly useful stadium that's barely 25 years old. A similar stadium has met a similar fate: The Pontiac Silverdome outside Detroit. It was once home to the NBA's Pistons and the NFL's Lions. Now both teams have swanky new homes (sort of: the Pistons moved out in 1988).
The Silverdome has drive thru movies in the parking lot and rollerblades in its concourse. It will probably be torn down next year.

I think nobody talks about it because it'll probably just get torn down. The Twins and Vikings are constantly ragging on it, so I think the perception is that it's no good for sports, and the Target Center and Excel are better for concerts. So I predict implosion.
