CONFIRMED: The Silverdome Drive In has now gone the way of many Drive-Ins. July 2011 Letter to their customers: To Our Valued Customers: On behalf of The Theater Group we would like to thank you for the support that you provided to the Silverdome Drive-in. At this time we regretfully announce that the drive-in will no longer be operational effective immediately. This season Triple Sports and Entertainment, the ownership of the Silverdome, took over day to day operations of the theater. After many behind the scenes issues we have decided to no longer allow the Silverdome to use the drive-in equipment. As guests and supporters of the drive-in we want to thank you for your support over the years and understand that closing the drive-in was not easy as it brought much enjoyment to members of the community. We are currently exploring other options for a drive-in within Oakland County and hope to be able to return in the future with another venue for local residents to enjoy. We will continue to update this facebook page with information and updates about our search for a new location. Once again thank you for your support of the drive-in. Sincerely, The Theater Group Management.

5/10/2008 - Roy Munson
Tear down the dome, build a Walmart, CVS, Rite-Aid and Walgreens there. Can''t get enough of those. Maybe a bowling allley too. Move those those drive-in screens out in the sticks somewhere AWAY from Pontiac and all that light pollution.
5/8/2008 - Sean Fitzgerald
Tear down the dome, build a drive in slash 1/2 mile stockcar track.
4/18/2008 - Chester Ripley
I miss the "old" place too. The perfectly flat parking, the toilet trailer and the carnival food trailer that were so close to the parking areas, the excellent lighting from across the highway, and don''t forget the long history and nostalgia of it. Ah yes, many fine memories were made over the many years that this fantastic establishment entertained so many of us. I too mourn it''s passing, it was exactly like I remember drive-ins were like when I was a kid. It''s too bad there aren''t any other drive-ins open anymore.

I miss the old place. I loved going there and I thought it was very clean and it was always jammed packed. I wish someone would re-open it. NOW, PLEASE!!!

The Silverdome Drive-In opened on October 10, 2003 with much fanfare, with TV and radio coverage and both major newspapers covering the opening extensively. The result was a more than sold out night with over 400 cars! The movies were "Duplex" and "Kill Bill Vol 1". There is 1 screen set up so far and there are 2 more that will be set up next week. The screens are 40x80 feet and are about 20 feet off the ground to compensate for the lack of ramps which would normally be there to improve visibility (line of sight) to the screen. The concession stand is run by Big Boys and is right outside the Silverdome itself, so it is quite a walk to the Screen 1 lot. The pricing at the snack bar was typical for any theatre, maybe a tad higher (4 dollars for a Big Boy hamburger). The selection was pretty good, burgers, dogs, sausage with the movie staples of popcorn and candy and pop. The much discussed restroom situation was better than expected. Although they are portable, they are heated trailers with hot water and regular stalls. The screens themselves will be permanent with the projection booth, concession stand and ticket booth being moveable to allow for other events at the Silverdome. There was plenty of security and folks directing the cars to there spots. The vehicles are aligned by the use of white lines painted on the lot, the yellow lines being for regular parking. There was some confusion amongst some of the patrons as to the proper space and position for their vehicles. The picture quality was good, it was sharp and quite bright. There is a small amount of light pollution visible from the lighting on M-59, but overall did not adversely affect the image. The sound was FM radio and was good although there was a small amount of interference during the second feature. There was also a short vintage intermission reel between movies to provide a bit of nostalgia. The gentlemen at the projection booth indicated that the current plan is to run 3 screens thru December 15 and then close down until March, where there will be an additional 2 screens added. He also mentioned that they are getting inquries from other arenas and stadiums around the country to do something similar.
