Adamo Group selected to demolish Pontiac Silverdome.
The demolition contractor for the Silverdome has been chosen. The Adamo Group, based out of Detroit, will be the contractor to bring down the 80,311-seat abandoned stadium in Pontiac. The confirmation of the selection of the contractor was dated May 10 according to Pontiac Mayor Deirdre Waterman. That’s two days before the deadline outlined by a recent consent agreement between the city of Pontiac and the stadium’s owners, Toronto-based Triple Investment Group, to tear down the Silverdome.
The owners will now have until June 9 to submit specific plans for the demolition to the city.
The consent agreement, from where the deadlines originate, came after the city filed litigation against the Silverdome owners in February. The six complaints alleged violations of building and safety codes, zoning ordinances and the municipal code including the storage of used cars on the property. They were filed about a month after it was found that hundreds of Volkswagen cars, which were bought back by the automaker due to an emissions cheating scandal, were being housed in the parking lot at the Silverdome.
