12 Abandoned Stadiums That Are Now Stunning Tourist Attractions

6. Pontiac Silverdome, Detroit, USA

The Pontiac Silverdome, once home to the Detroit Lions and host to major events like Super Bowl XVI and the 1994 FIFA World Cup, was abandoned in 2006. While much of the structure has since been demolished, parts of the site were repurposed before its full closure. These remnants became a magnet for urban explorers and photographers, drawn to its decaying grandeur. The Silverdome hosted unique events, such as local community festivals and film shoots, before its eventual dismantling. Guided tours of its ruins offered visitors a chance to learn about its history and the impact of its closure on Detroit. Although it no longer stands, the Silverdome's legacy lives on as an emblem of the city's sporting and cultural heritage.
