New drone footage of the Pontiac Silverdome's parking lot full of Volkswagen's cheating diesels shows first-hand just how wide-ranging the $15.3 billion settlement is.

The Silverdome, former home to the Detroit Lions, is just one of the German automaker's storage facilities for its vehicle buyback in the U.S.

Jalopnik reports VW has regional storage facilities at the decommissioned Norton Air Force Base in California, the Port of Baltimore and the Silverdome in Pontiac, possibly among others.

The vehicles captured in the drone footage above are ones Volkswagen bought back in its $15.3 billion settlement with consumers, regulators and U.S. states as a result of the automaker's emissions scandal.

Once a buyback is complete, Volkswagen transports the vehicle from the dealership to one of its regional storage facilities like the Silverdome.

VW said once the vehicles are in storage, it will regularly maintain the vehicles until an "approved emissions modification" takes place. The German automaker reports that vehicles not approved for emissions modification will be recycled.

The Pontiac Silverdome currently sits in ruins. The 82,000 seat dome opened in 1975 and became the home of the Detroit Lions. The Silverdome closed in 2006 and re-opened for a few years in 2010.

The Lions moved from the Silverdome to Ford Field in Downtown Detroit in 2002.

On Tuesday, March 28, -- the day before the 30th anniversary of WrestleMania III -- it was announced the Silverdome would be demolished after the building owners and city of Pontiac reached an agreement.

The current owner is Toronto-based Triple Investment Group, a development company run by Andreas Apostolopoulos and his son, Steve Apostolopoulos.

They purchased the Silverdome for $583,000 in 2009 -- less than 1 percent of the initial $55.7 million it cost to build in 1975 -- and are reneging on a commitment to redevelop the former home of the Detroit Lions.

"We have reached a point where we must say goodbye to what was once one of the world's greatest venues," said Apostolopoulos in a statement issued by the city.

"The Silverdome was not only the proud home of the Lions and the Pistons, but also served as host facility for the Pope, the Super Bowl, the World Cup ... Wrestlemania and countless other events."
