They ran around redevelopment plans. They auctioned off innards. They promoted a classic stalling tactic otherwise known as a design competition. And now, for their final act, Andreas "Apop" Apostolopoulos and his Triple Investment Group are looking to sell the stripped down, deflated Silverdome for $30 million. That's 50 times the $583,000 they paid for the site back in 2009.
