Want one last look inside the Pontiac Silverdome?

Take a trip through the now dilapidated former home of the Detroit Lions (1975-2001) and Pistons (1978-88) through the eyes of professional BMX rider Tyler Fernengel, a Michigan native.

Fernengel recently rode around the concourse, through the stands, down the stairways and onto the field where Barry Sanders once made his breakaway moves and Isiah Thomas danced to celebrate a playoff victory.

The now-roofless facility is sadly worn down and beat up these days.

"It's like a war zone," Fernengel said in a story posted on Red Bull's website.

Fernengel's obstacle-course tour not only shows the current state of the Silverdome, but it's an intriguing performance put on by the young racer with a variety of daring jumps and other impressive maneuvers.
