Property Owner Cited for Turning Blighted Football Stadium into Massive VW TDI Parking Lot



Volkswagen has been storing some of its more than 100,000 bought-back TDI-equipped cars in various places around the country as the automaker wades through the largest scandal in its 80-year history. One such location appears to have become a bit of a problem. The city of Pontiac has cited the property owners of the blighted Silverdome, a former NFL stadium where the Detroit Lions played from 1975 to 2001, for turning the site into a massive parking lot for diesel-powered VWs in limbo.
The Detroit Free Press reports that Pontiac has issued six citations to Triple Investment Group, ranging from improper security of the cars to lacking a business license to store them there. Triple Investment Group has owned the 127-acre site since 2009, when it bought it in a city auction for $583,000. Car and Driver attempted to contact the property owners, as well as the city of Pontiac and Volkswagen, on Thursday. A VW spokesman told C/D earlier this year that the company was keeping the cars maintained at various sites around the U.S., including the Silverdome, until a final fix is made for the cars or until they are otherwise recycled in some form.
