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?
This is such a classic I rewatch a few times a year. Also an unrepeatable piece of history since it’s long gone now
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
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
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
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
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!
Rip silverdome1975-2017
It was dead log before today... they just buried it 😂
Died in 02 decayed until 2017
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
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 😂😂😂
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!!!
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 😉
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
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.
I was looking at every possible Image of this abandoned on Google Images. Thankfully I found this on UA-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
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
That was life changing. A lot of real courage and reward shown. Thanks for sharing.
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
First one to the concert ahahaha
Max Willson 😂😂😂
Max, more like "I'm here! Oh, damn. The concert is TOMORROW."
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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 😉
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
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
R.I.P Stadium I loved watching people explore it and just imagine that there used to be a professional NFL team that played in here and thousands of fans sucks to see its gone now
Pretty sad, but at this point it’s better down than up
Anton Daniels true
This dude is cool and funny. He is a great explorer.
Thanks my friend
@@AntonDaniels you welcome my buddy
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...
This dude is cool. He doesn’t click bait and he doesn’t break or vandalize anything. Keep up the good content.
Wrestlemania III.
Epic event
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
It is super satisfying to listen to him talk while he is riding the motorcycle
+Billxbolt 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
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.
Thats the last time youll be exploring this Stadium
This is like my memorial of it
I still come back and watch this video every few months still amazing
I do also... thanks
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?
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!
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.
Cool stuff, I live near this and have done a couple of Drone flights. Great video
Lorddarthvader1701 thanks bro
+Trextheminner that would be awesome
illegal but I like it
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@AntonDaniels 😂😂😂
This dudes channel rocks! So does his attitude/vibe.
+RainGaming32 1 woohoo! Glad you like what’s happening here. I appreciate you!
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....?
your video inspired them to tear it down
I truly believe that
Thank you for going here, getting out the camera and filming this, Its a bit late for me to go and explore the silverdome......
Who else came back to this video after they failed to implode it...
👋🏾
Anton Daniels love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Those VWs are recalled and they needed parking space for them. Great video man
Luomo Rocco you're absolutely correct
Whenever I think of the Pontiac Silverdome, I have memories of Barry Sanders highlights and Wrestlemania III....
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 😉
@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.
😂😂😂
moto vlogging + urban exploring = perfect combo
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Finally UA-cam recommended something good...
🙌🏾
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. 👍🏾
I stop by here every so often to remember the first vid that exposed me to Anton 👋🏾
A police siren in Detroit? No way... Awesome adventure man. Thanks for sharing. I loved it.
Scott Hill glad you enjoyed it friend!
Pontiac*
You need to start a exploration series! It will be so awesome!!
deltas gaming I certainly consider that
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
I CANT EVEN LIE I WOULD BE SCARED AS FUCK TO BE IN THAT BIG ASS SPACE BY MYSELF LOL
+ActionJackson 😂😂😂
what a great vid!!! thanks for sharing!!
Joe P thanks for watching
I been there many times as a kid watching Barry Sanders get it in💪🏾
Love how he said “honey, where’s my super suit!”
+Knockoff Yachty 😂😂😂
I love this guy. Takes nerve to go in there and make a good video. Well done. Just subbed
Thanks friend 🙌🏾
One of the NFL's largest stadiums, turned in to a dead, lifeless, eerie one. Wat was once a dome, not no more.
Gr8 memories which will last forever, despite on the Lions record, at that time.
Thanks for iterally risking it, but at the same time enjoyed the tour 👍
You’re welcome
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
I would have gotten down into the team's locker rooms!
Really? You would’ve walked though all that water?
Anton Daniels, how much water was in there? I forgot about the water, but I did hear you say something about it. It was hard to see it in the video But F that even if it was a couple inches, I wouldn't get in it either!! Props for going in there as well! It was cool to see! I just would like to have seen the locker rooms, no way if you had to wade through water!
Yeah, I hear ya
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.
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!
This was recommended and 1.im in love with you bike 2.im in love with abandoned buildings so I’m lucky I found this! GREAT VIDEO
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
What amazes me is those stadiums are built with taxpayer funds and then the NFL just abandons them and demands that the taxpayers pays for another stadium. The town is still probably on the hook financially.
This is a great video. Well done.
+MrOccyc Pontiac Michigan isn’t doing well financially at all. I’m not sure what their long term solution is, but it’ll be interesting to watch. You’re absolutely right friend!
This is sad. I'm just 14, but I've been hearing a lot about this stadium. I did some research on it, and found out the stadium you were standing in had some historical moments. The parking lot is massive, and the stadium itself look likes it's as long as my street! Some NFL teams don't have the money get a good stadium, maybe a nearby team could've used it? All in all, I'm disappointed in the Lions for abandoning it. Stadium could've been even better with some renovations, but now all you can do is just see it get worse day by day.
Moses Devadass thanks for the comment! At this point they are in the early process of demolishing the stadium and I'm not sure what will be built on the land now. I'll keep everyone updated as I find out though 😉
Its cool that a youtuber actually connects with his fans by replying
I don’t think that’s too much to ask 🤷🏾♂️
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!
Why were their cars?
spllitz emissions scandal from VW
Those are the recalled VW cars
+Brayden Monk you’re correct sir. Probably will end up in the crusher
Anton Daniels
Nah they'll be moved to another country where they can be sold or they'll be repaired to be sold here. The cars basically only need a software update.
spllitz "there"
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
You definitely earned a new subscriber!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Anton Daniels 🙌🙌🙌
what is about to happen to the palace of auburn hills
tristan miller I think they are about to sell it. They still have concerts and events there.
they probably will tear it down because it won't be economically feasible because concerts will all go to ford field or little caesars arena
they will probably tear it down because all the events will move to ford field or little caesars arena
Getting torn down in the next year. No shows since the new LCA had opened.
M
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!
Those Volkswagens in the parking lot are from the whole diesel gate thing. Those cars I believe were bought back from customers but they might be brand new idk
Wild _Toilet you’re exactly right
true story right here... every one of those cars were bought back from VW after they lied and cheated about emmision testing then tried selling there shit cars in us market.
The Silverdome is gone now
Sure is
Zachary Ade R.I.P. Memories
Well all the walls of it is down
I've been there once in the late '90s. The place was used as a gardening show. We walked inside and just hang out for a while. The roof was still on when we were there.
Glad it's gone now.
The roof failed in 2013 and was never repaired.
cool video, what time did you go at? I'm gonna go this weekend and trying to figure the best time to avoid getting caught
Adam Stanley you should probably avoid it now. They are in the process of tearing it down now and have people in there everyday. I've heard of people getting caught recently and charged with trespassing.
Anton Daniels thanks for the advice, I'll probably just fly a drone over it now
I wish you went to the locker rooms and gym for the teams.
The grounds were flooded at the time... I would’ve had to walk through water
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.
The VWs there are recalled vehicles that needed a place to be stored.
Luke Jackson bingo
Good job man you just earned a sub!
+Extreme ArthurTV I’m grateful
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
It's absolutely amazing that a place where one of greatest running backs of all time Barry Sanders once played is now just left to rot. What a shame.
It’s demolished now
Yeah I know, what a shame. I'm a life long lions fan and growing up Barry Sanders was my hero.
"What is the green thing?" It's the turf field
Iowa_ editz but it was submerged in water so I was confused
Great Video!
Zef Noshi thx bro
Yep no problem keep up the good work!
Probably the realest urban explorer, looking forward to watching the rest of his videos
You’re going to love them!
The green stuff is the old ripped up turf from the football field
aswell24 gaming great insight... thanks!
I’d call that fallen concrete piece an engineering failure. There are stadiums built in the 60s still one piece
+Dick Avalanche yeah, I agree. That’s pretty sad too. Thanks for the feedback my friend!
Which is why it’s abandoned
VERY good. I have been curious about the SilverDome for years. Thank you.
You’re welcome friend
They make these stadiums so big.
They do... only to eventually tear them down
