Tree seedlings grow on the turf of the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich. The 80,000-seat indoor stadium hosted the Super Bowl, the NBA finals, the World Cup, Wrestlemania and concerts by Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. Nowadays, the venue is a shell of its former self with its roof in tatters and a lack of electrical power that has left the stadiumâs innards dark and mold-covered. The Silverdomeâs current owner is determined to cash in before itâs too late, putting everything inside up for auction starting on Wednesday, May 21. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)
