Bright Sun Films Gives a new meaning to "this is my turf"

Bright Sun Films you should do a day with SpongeBob movie for thee cancelled series

ya, you stole it. I saw you

pinkeye00 who me?.

Bright Sun Films I'm sure it's worth all of possibly 100 dollars???

Lol

They probably did

😂😂😂😂😊😊😂😂😂😂

Lol.....right!

Flea market more like

Especially in Michigan

The silverdome's roof is like the metrodome and rca dome

Well they did not know better then just like when they built roads they thought traffic would get big to the point to widen them

Ikr ? Here in Canada they finished building a brand new stadium with less than half a roof... In a city that gets snow for 5 months and desert heat for 3... No wonder we never get any concerts around here

@@brainey001 what stadium is that?

So do our sports teams- except the Lions (they were never good)

So does the government (or whoever builds this).

@@teo.took.40.benadryl yeah it's been owned and controlled by the democrats for over 30 years

Austin Smith that has nothing to do with Detroit’s downfall

Yup. I'm like 20 minutes away from downtown Detroit so I definitely concur

Oh my , YES ! Huge blast of warm air would hit you as you were trying to get into those big carousel doors .

I went to the dome once when i was a little kid. the huge blast of air is my only memory of it. (I don't even remember why my folks took me there, lol)

Core memories

METALLICA 12/31/99 -00 Drove up from Virginia, great venue, so sad to see it gone. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES 'Rock City'!

Barry Sanders baby!

Went 3 times. SuperBowl, Madonna, World Cup.

The Lions, the Eagles of the Midwest.

Sol

That...that's asbestos. What you're smelling is asbestos. For God's sake, don't breath that in.

i've explored that places at least 60 times since it was abandoned...i can confirm this.

well done sir I liked that greetings from Buffalo N.Y.

I heard the whole stadium crumble when they demoed it/ there was a failed demo attempt lol place was strong

Markis5150 I get the same ghostly feeling whenever I stop by 22nd & Brooklyn where the Chiefs once played

I know same thing happened to joe Luis arena

One Day You May p

its now gone

I remember watching on TV, the annual Thanksgiving day classic football games. The 1976 game featured Buffalo Bills running back O. J. Simpson rushing for 273 yards and scored two touchdowns in a 32-14 loss to the Detroit Lions and the 1980 game between division rival Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions in a very short overtime game. Also 1994 World Cup soccer and Pope John Paul II held papal mass in that facility.

I always remember it for Wrestlemania 3.

True, Ford Field and Comerica park are within a Football field of each other, and Little Caesars is within ten miles of, the other stadiums, the palace is getting demolished, I forgot where the Red Wings played before Little Caesars, and everything else is within walking distance

Saves the muggers time that way !

@@Ob1tuber The Wings played at Joe Louis Arena 😁

Until you wanna park

​@Ob1tuber Little Ceaser’s Arena is Kiddie Corner from Comerica Park across the Freeway, they're surrounded by parking structures. Across from Comerica is The Fox Theater and a block down is The Fillmore

Forrest Hassell I've actually seen one of the "canceled" videos on trending.

totally not what i said last video rofl

Abandoned: The Astrodome

Forrest Hassell nice pic I like the Broncos to

Bright sun films do sears Canada

My fave team 94 wc. Dahlin Brolin Larsson etc - dont think I will see a great a swedish side as that again in my lifetime.

KillerAnime the only greatest moment in that stadium

Didn't Iron Sheik fuck Brian Blair in the ass there?

KillerAnime that’s fake so it means nothing

BROTHER

The best match that night was Savage vs steamboat

Let me tell u something brother

I was there too! Just a kid. Was waaaaaay up near the top. I still remember when Hulk Hogan body slammed Andre the Giant. The crowd noise figuratively blew the roof off of the place!

And Volkswagen buyback graveyard

@@imaramblins Lol i was way up there also, about half way up the top level

That must feel.pretry odd. I remember the hype about the record setting attendence.

me too, i am in love with this building it is just WOW. So sad it is gone

Lets not talk about those dark times...

Jake, would you ever consider re-doing some of the first episodes? I guess it would only make sense if there were updates to the story but it would be nice to hear about them in your current level of quality!

Bright Sun Films They are still very informative - you guys have always done the same level of research. You just hadn't quite found your comfort zone yet as far as recording the audio. 😉

Yeah, it’s shame. Once Ford Field was built, there just wasn’t much reason for the Silverdome to exist anymore. (It’s now fully destroyed.) It’s kind of ironic. Back in the 1960s and 1970s most American professional sports stadiums were built out in the suburbs, where the economy was stronger and much of the fanbase lived. Now in the 21st century, teams are building new stadiums in the core of their downtown areas again, because that’s where the fanbase has moved. A lot of these suburban stadiums like the Silverdome are just left behind.

One of the venues used at the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

As someone who has lived near it my entire life, it was a shit stadium. Ford Field is much better

Yes we are 😁

Breaks my heart to watch this video...was 5 years old when my dad took me and my older brother to a tigers game in the silverdome, barely a 10min drive from home. That was in 1984, and sadly we moved far away in 1985, so i have all these memories from the best time of my childhood life, growing up in Fox Hills near Pontiac...going to the four Bears park and Chucky Cheese. And now i'm finding out it's all gone, abandoned, destroyed, rotten.... Chucky Cheese closed down in the 90's, 4 bears park got completely removed from the face of the earth over some scandal...half the houses in that residential area are empty. The elementary school closed down 2 decades ago because no kids lived nearby....and i still dream about waiting on the school bus, goofing around with my neighbour friends...popping tar bubbles on the road in summer, playing hide and seek, smashing up that pinata when our guatemalan buddies had a birthdayparty... Man i miss the 80's, last decade before internet and social media...

I also thought about Atlanta's Olympic tennis stadium demolished the other day. Tons of news on it and I live nearby lol

A mini-series on just abandoned Olympic venues around the world would be pretty cool

1337er Star Boy that would be a good idea since most cities can't take care of the large stadiums that they built for the Olympic. Also why do people build expensive buildings to just use for only about 2 week, while some were not in use for the full 2 weeks, and then abandoned after the Olympic is finished.

I would watch that!!

1337er Star Boy I need this

Nick Cerini it’s pretty much gone now. I believe they finished it in November

It's all gone now. 😔

Damn.

It's gone, I dumped dirt there in December. The only thing left is the ASTRO turf rolled up on the SE corner of the property.

Super sad how many memories we destroy

Especially if it's going to be snowed on.

Teflon is very strong, but I think it was just the design of the roof that made it easy to tear up, especially when deflated.

The problem is that given the requirements and inability to have support an incredibly light material designed primarily to retain heat was the best they could do.

zzcolby27 So weird I was just wonxering about Pontiac last night...

zzcolby27 And this makes me very sad. ☹ I love Pontiacs. My dad has a 59 Bonneville convertible and my dream car is a 65 GTO.

for anyone that doesn't know the Pontiac brand was owned by General Motors (also from Detroit), among their other popular brands like Chevrolet and Cadillac and etc during the 2008 bailouts, General Motors was forced to close the doors on multiple brands, like Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn - all of which had been underperforming in the years leading up to the bailout - Pontiac's flagship model, the G8 (a rebadged Australian Holden) was sitting at car dealership lots going largely unsold

lmao

TheCosmicCharizard Jeep's are better

Toad Tube Gaming 12/2 is when I was born wtf

Kbena210 same dude

Did the Lions ''ever'' win a game?

@@chaosdemonwolf1 Every now and again, usually when the other team was doing really bad.

@@chaosdemonwolf1 not in 2008

Not even Barry fucking Sanders could get people to watch the train wreak known as the Detroit Lions

Well They made 6 playoff appearances in the 90s but 5 of those were losing in the Wild Card. And The Farthest They've went was 1991-1992 season and They would lose by 31 Points in the NFC Championship.

It wasn’t abandoned tho

One of the loudest stadiums ever in history

Same here

And don’t get me started on the Waste that was The Palace…

I know man my cousin was telling me all about it smh.

Thanks so much!!

Damn right!

American made is absolute shit lmao

@@ifb6368 That's mostly true now, but it wasn't back in the 1970s when the stadium was constructed.

@ ok boomer

@Aaron Z. Well really yeah, it's sad to see a then-growing city starts to decline in.. everything

Technically, it's not abandoned. They're cutting it up for scrap.

It doesn't exist anymore.

Supa Doopa Horizons wasn't abandoned either, but he made a video on that.

it was abandoned for years.

+PhillyCloud1234 Fair point.

Welcome To America!!

come on hes American, English is not their strongest

@@NonsensicalSpudz He's Canadian

Niko Bellic

Tis Capitalism my friend. Markets aren't the greatest at foresight sadly.

@@VeryFamousActor No, 'tis humanity. Capitalism incentivizes foresight, but it can't impart it in people who just don't have it. No system can.

@@PrezVeto when the system is based on unlimited growth it's not incentivizing foresight. If foresight were incetivized the system wouldn't come crashing down every 8 years. We can and should do better.

Americans do not really care for history. We just want new, new, shiny brand new, and this goes for architecture as well as internal amenities. It's why many US cities struggle keeping up history buildings or areas. (NYC has really busted ass keeping historic buildings well kept at all cost).

Global Warming Skeptic Actually, building are designed with a structural integrity limit. Something this video doesn't mention is the stadium had reached its limit and was to be replaced by 2006, or undergo massive updates. The auction winners thought they could do it on the cheap. Nope.

Global Warming Skeptic we have a better stadium in Ford Field. If anything this shows that horrible things can be replaced with beautiful things

Global Warming Skeptic I live like 20 minutes away from it and they are tearing it down right now

You could tone down the melodrama ya know? It's just a stadium. They'll destroy it and build something else that people will like.

It's the good old fashioned Bread and Circus model. You feed and entertain the population, but you get to control economic and political policy. That's democracy in the 21st century, and politics since forever.

Killjoy Matt He never did K-mart. K-Mart hasn't been abandoned or shut down yet. Sears is also STILL around. Wait a couple years

5 at the most

Sears is still around. It's still an anchor store at one of the malls I sometimes go to.

Jonathan Miller mine is completely abandoned. You can still see the store closing signs from the huge closing.

Just because the one by you is closing doesn't mean all of them are just yet. I don't see Sears lasting too much longer but there are some still around. It's not that matter if they will all close but the real question is when.

Don it was home of the lions, in 2002 they moved to Ford Field

Don preach it brother!

Still a dome

@@zapdos8441 That's not what he said.

Lol yea I also think of Hulk Hogan and Andre doing the iconic face off before their match. It may have been fake , but damn were we entertained by it!! 93K people were on their feet!

That's the power of the GREATEST Pope that EVER lived kids......Pope Karol aka Pope John Paul II !!! May God bless his eternal soul 🙏

@@rc.8324 What

They should get a refund when it comes to the roof tho

Unlike their football team

PredatorGaming Oh no the Palace is closing??? I grew up in that area, so close that both my brother and sister used to work there. Many fond memories of concerts, the Pistons, the Vipers, etc.

Predator - Don't forget the proposed Soccer stadium at the unfinished jail property. We would be the only state in the union to have new stadiums for FOUR sports all within walking distance of each other.

I remember when the Palace was built and it is not just your average Blah stadium but as it's sitting in Auburn Hills that property is waaaayy too valuable to just try and make something work. Heck, the city recently did an odd mock-up of new zoning for that property because they were salivating so badly to have that land broken up

Sammy Lane..yes he was. Lol

Jeff Brinning it truly is a surprise to see the wrestlemania stadium hulk hogan picked up Andre the giant have such a sad end

Good one ! :)

and a few years b4 that Hogan slammed Andre in Shea Stadium..But someone else slammed Andre & it was the last only real true world champion...NWA. Champion Harley Race

Yeah but Race slammed a lighter Andre who was in better shape so he could do the proper technique when being slammed much easier. The 87 Andre was much heavier and was suffering more from acromegely(SP?) so he couldnt help Hogan as much with the technique. I know this probably doesn't make sense lol. Its hard to explain via text.

Can't have 28 stab wounds in detroit

@@hdhrdfsrkgh Can’t leave them a chance in Detroit, HUH?!

Fuckers Demolited a 583 million stadium can´t have this shit in detroit

You can have crap in Detroit, I know I live in Michigan

It's Fit Nic me too I remember

Ford Field has monster truck shows

Yes, but the Silverdome always used to be the big event *everyone* wanted to go to. Kind of like the Bowling Green ring in Ohio, the biggest tractor pull in the world is hosted there. @@sushiroll3678

Good Times.

But you didn't go to see the pope, did you?

It could withstand snow. The year of the roof collapse, it was an excessively high snow season... one of the worst in metro Detroit history. Other structures and homes had roofs cave due to over 20 days of continuous snowfall. It was a season where when most would shovel sidewalks, people spent time shoveling snow off the roofs!

And how would you build a roof given the constraints? They can't just place support columns going down.

The Palace is in really good shape for its age. And due to its size, im sure there will still be plenty of concerts, monster jams, and circus' to be held there.

Nysguy2003 I just hope Auburn Hills won't mess up with The Palace.

I dont think they will. It was renovated just two years ago, and is still home to Detroit's Arena football team as well as their Soccer team. Still a good place to hold a concert.

Nysguy2003 Too say with that renovation, the Pistons provided that cost of renovation which is surprising.

I heard plans of it are in the works to have it demolished and something commercial built,I'd hope not seeing as it was recently renovated and is still prime to host events

Bryce Pragovich did your dad abandon you?

Tman Goodguy did your dad abandon YOU?

Noelle D did your dad abandoned YOU?

JT Penland YOU abandoned dad your did?

Bryce Pragovich same

Same, ive only been past it a few times and saw it up close once, now I never will be able to see its full glory

Thanks Josh!

Bright Sun Films I was wondering if you can do a video on beastly kingdom, Disney's failed land on animal kingdom.

Ash Ketchum astro dome isnt abandoned lol

vdven is miss the summit, I was home for iconic concerts in houston, my favorite being U2 zoo tv 1992

The Summit isn't abandoned, it got turned into a massive church

ASTRODOME IS ABANDONED

Or do six flags astroworld

Shane Clouthier Can you see all that VW cars that are stored there ?

Shane Clouthier past*

SSGP • I believe that would be the correct context. I passed it today would be correct though, right?

Passed isn’t a word, it’s kinda like how you don’t spell lie “lieing” you spelling it “lying” it’s a weird one

move or cause to move in a specified direction. "he passed through towns and villages" synonyms: go, proceed, move, progress, make one's way, travel "the traffic passing through the village"

+Billy Bellmont Thanks Billy!

Jordan Kay not sure if it's named after the car brand or the city... but, I see what you did there. it really is sad though. Tried to get in there in Jan. one guard said okay, then some little dude drove up saying "I call cops, I call cops"

EM2 YK1 prob both. Pontiac cars were made back then aswell. Its honestly sad how long its been killed off.2

Both the car brand and the city were named after the leader of the indigenous Odawa tribe there. He's also dead, for the record.

the silver dome was located inside of pontiac and was named accordingly. The car brand is named for the same reason but if you ask someone from detroit about pontiac they’ll immediately think of the city not the brand of cars.

i watched the super bowl there saw areosmith ted nugent and foghat on the same night later saw led zepplin david bowie pink floyd many lions games was too big for concerts but a very cool place to go

I was there!

Damn.. They should just give the product to you xd.

airsoft

Yeah that’s an awesome idea. Just keep up the foundation to prevent collapsing lol

and before the first match and after every major storm, check the entire complex for anything that could potentially be incredibly dangerous and fix it or something, gotta keep the public safe

um, not financially viable. If it were, they'd have already done it.

wrhiv72 ya

wrhiv72 Why? Ford Field is better.

Just Some Guy Ok He said its sad to see... it was once an iconic stadium that is now an eyesore. Just because something else is better doesn't mean another thing cant be sad. Douche

Are the Volkswagens still their?

I used to watch drive in movies near there

Jimmy McCarthy Yes! It’s a synonym for location. These videos are very well done, but there a few language ticks (revitilation instead of revitalization) that stick out like a sore thumb.

you are a venue!

Haha I noticed that. He has quite a few times when he just uses the wrong word. It's often prepositions or conjunctions which make no sense but they're not heinous enough to ruin the meaning.

@TraviTrail I think it's reasonable that high-quality content producers like this will use, and appreciate sensible feedback to improve their film-making. It's also reasonable that people producing educational content have their facts right and speak in an accurate and coherent way. Sure, if it bugs me that much I can stop watching but a young person who's keen to learn might end up assuming that's a correct usage which isn't going to serve them well. On that basis, I'm going to assume you spelled "butthole" wrong just to annoy us and you're not actually semi-literate.

Thanks so much Jackson!

BTW I told my parents about you and they love watching you too!

Bright Sun Films Great video! ❤👍

I've been here before that Get Rekt 😎😎

There's a few radio shacks near where I live but they have been fused with other dieing stores and they just have whats left of the old stock, but now there called "RadioShack Video & Tan"

endooz just watched the retail archeology one, thanks for pointing me in the right direction

The radio shack in our area is doing fine

There's quite a few radios hacks left were I live surprisingly

Kmart sounds more interesting

Max Moore it's not been inflated for a long ass time. Way more than a year.

Max Moore I don't think it was the silver dome that u saw

I photographed the inside like 4 years ago. I was on of the first before Red Bull even did their BMX trip there. Roof collapsed a long long time ago lol Edit- Just saw he ended up using one of my shots hah

Aditya Pudasaini yes it was hard to understand without punctuation

i agree.

Elmaestrodemusica because we don’t have the funds to tear them down. It think people forget you have to pay to take all that stuff down just as you payed to build it in the first place

russia. china. youd be suprised. its sad but the children left the area long ago. things wither and die unless your in a mega city like LA or NY

LOL “I don’t believe any modern country does this”, oh you don’t believe it so that makes it encyclopedically correct? I hope people like you don’t vote, uninformed just yelling what they believe and why the US is bad, wtf do you think China and these countries do after they host the olympics and nobody wants to go shopping on a stadium mall

This pretty much never ever happens where the property is valuable, just for the record.

Christopher White; no. uninformed people voting straight party tickets that only seem to legitimize the elections (bunch of votes but no thought behind them) is why we have hardly a choice anymore. Then we look stupid for voting in the lesser of 2 evils. Ever notice how 2 party systems always find a way to split the voters in their communities close to 50/50? Only the independents, who vote for the candidates and not the party, give some contests a wider spread.
