Investment Group Looks to Make Insane Profit on Deflated Silverdome

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.

It's a crazy end to a crazy chapter for the storied space, once home to the Detroit Lions and countless events and concerts. As the latest real estate dice roll, some wonder whether or not the new owners will try to salvage what's left of the space or go back to the development drawing board completely.—Leslie Youngblood
