Posted by / May 18, 2014

Once upon a time, 60,000 fans of various events packed Detroit’s Pontiac Silverdome to the brim, but today, it’s a sad remnant being auctioned off piece by piece.

If having a piece of Pistons’ or Lions’ history is an item on your bucket list, be sure to get in on the bidding action at RJM auctioneers.
