Not a joke: Accounting for inflation, Detroit's Pontiac Silverdome was constructed at a cost of $222 million. It sold last week for $583k.
That's right, a building that holds up to 94,000 people sitting on 127 acres of land sells for the price of what is a modest-sized single-family home in some areas.
Poor Detroit.
