The Silverdome was the brief home to the Drive-in movies. Opening in 2003 with two screens, a third screen was later added. The Silverdome Drive In ran in the summers of 2003–2005, re-opened for a short stint in 2006, but is now closed.

The Pontiac Silverdome was completed to house for the Detroit Lions in 1975. Since then it has hosted many losing seasons with the Lions, a Pope, World Cup Soccer, a Super Bowl, and numerous other events. But since the Lions moved back to the new Ford Field in Detroit in 2001, the Silverdome has been struggling to find a new purpose. Owned by the financially strapped city of Pontiac, the city council tried to utilize the 127 acre site as a drive-in theater, but after a few more losing seasons (which seems traditional at this location) the city has resolved to sell the site.
Current condition: Still standing (could be re-opened)
