Failure at the Metrodome

What else is new?

You know its a bad storm when even the Metrodome roof collapses. A failure of the teflon roof of the Hubert H. Humphrey Dome, long an eyesore of downtown Minneapolis, led to the collapse of the roof early Sunday morning. Men with shovels are clearing the snow off by hand.

The New York Giants were scheduled to play the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome this Sunday. In fact, had things gone as planned, the game would probably be at or near halftime right now. But the Giants were diverted to Kansas City, Missouri yesterday.

Now it appears the game will go on tomorrow in Detroit.


The Metrodome as it normally looks. And proof we have a growing season here.

As it looked this morning. One can normally see the roof puffed up above the roofline. I can't wait to take the train by there tomorrow on my way to the U. I'll try to snap some photos if it is still down.

Speaking of...
