The Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, in the general vicinity of Detroit, was most famous for hosting Wrestlemania 3 where 93,173 watched Hulk Hogan body slam Andre the Giant on March 29, 1987.
The Detroit Lions left The Silverdome after the 2001 season but the venue held on hosting various events until 2013 when the roof collapsed. In 2015 it was announced tha the stadium would be demolished in the Spring of 2016, after delays and an arson in the pressbox in June 2016 the stadium was condemed and cleared for demolition in 2017. The Silverdome’s demolition was set to commence on December 3, 2017 but due to a wiring issue 8 of the explosive charges failed to detonate, a second attempt was sucessful the next day, by March 2018 the last wall of the Silverdome had fallen.
I love this capture showing the remains of the Silverdome, the seats are still there so I will guess it is between 2015 when a lot of google photogrammetry seems to have been taken and 2017 when the stadium was cleared for demo. If you can nail it down to a more specific date let me know!
