Silverdome says yes to vuvuzelas for soccer

PONTIAC, Mich.

Officials are turning the former home of the Detroit Lions into a horn aplenty.

Venue spokesman John Mozena said vuvuzelas will be allowed inside the Pontiac Silverdome for the match between club teams AC Milan of Italy and Panathinaikos FC of Greece.

The stadium’s owner had asked fans whether they wanted to let the buzzing horns inside. But despite polling that ran about 60-40 against, Mozena says “the numbers were a lot closer than we had expected” so officials decided to “give it a try.”

The constant drone of vuvuzelas during this summer’s World Cup matches in South Africa was a source of annoyance.
