 So same genral rules folks. One word to describe the topic in hopes of sparking new conversations. So lets change it up just a tad this time instead of just one word I will let you use one name as well because todays topic is about detroit history itself more than just football. The year was 1975 and the blue and silver detroit lions play there first game in the Pontiac Silverdome. Thats are topic one word and or name to describe the Silverdome. Many Historic events, Games, and Names have stepped foot in the old building whats the first that comes to your mind?

Tell you why I thought of this I read the story in the link below.

How do you keep a running back out of your secondary? You put up a LEVY.

Leonard Thompson

Played 12 years for the Lions and was drafted in Round 8 (yes there were more rounds back then) of the 1975 draft.

Another one word answer that came to me was “blowout”, because the Cowboys smoked the Lions 36-10 in the first game ever played in the Silverdome.

Oh you didn't know?? You're ass better CALLLLLLLL SOMEBODY!!!!!

the Pistons

and their championship run

if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin

by JCruize on Mar 21, 2010 7:59 PM EDT reply actions  

i guess I should clarify..

The start of the Pistons back to back. When I think of the Dome. My first thought will be of Pistons knocking off the Celtics to get to the 87-88 NBA Finals.

Unfortunately for me

When I think of the Silverdome I think of Hulk Hogan, or Andre the Giant. Lions at the Silverdome is far before my time.

Scott Mitchell

He was the George W. Bush/America; Scott Mitchell/Lions. Definitely will go down in history.

I saw the Pistons vs the Lakers

For the Championship. Sat all the way at the top at what would be probably the 30 yd line. The court ran east – west and was basically in the end zone area. Worst seats ever for any event. Even with binocs I couldn’t see the players.

Good thing I recorded it on VHS at the time…lol. Now I feel old…

Just livin' the dream...

I Volunteered to coach a 13-15 yr old Basketball Team

and we had a tournament that we had to take a Bus for and I brought my Discman and had my CD’s in my backpack, I was set. Those spoiled brats were clowning me the whole time. I broke down and bought an ITOUCH.

I'll give a word..... TRAGIC

for the way it went out. I believe somebody offered Pontiac $2 mil, but that got turned down and then the real estate market…..blah, blah, blah, and then the Silverdome gets sold for a couple hundred grand.

by FMFDOC8404 on Mar 22, 2010 1:10 AM EDT reply actions  

agree with that

Hmmmm 1975, well I was only 3 years old so I will give my one word based on the Silverdome in general.

Nigerian Nightmare

I remember seeing him play the Lions in a preseason game. The guy was absolutely huge, he made linebackers look small. It was like watching an athletic guard run the ball.

was that Christian Okoye?
