Jokes were made about the play of the Detroit Lions, who used to compete in the Silverdome.
They tried to implode the Pontiac Silverdome. It didn't work, like most game plans in there on Sundays. https://t.co/lqHurKlRhS

The Silverdome failing to implode is the most Detroit Lions thing ever. #Lions #Silverdome

The Silverdome implosion was almost as disappointing as the time the Lions spent there. Almost.
