PICTURE OF THE DAY

XMAS GIFT FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING? Nearly 35 years after taxpayers spent $55.7 million building the Pontiac Silverdome and a year after a $20 million sale fell through, city officials have sold the arena once called the most desirable property in Oakland County, Michigan.

The price: $583,000.

The 80,300-seat stadium opened in 1975 and has largely remained empty since the Detroit Lions left for Ford Field in 2002. The sale included 127 adjacent acres.
