MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Officials in Minneapolis say no one was hurt when the inflatable roof of the Metrodome collapsed overnight.
The roof collapsed under the weight of a snowstorm that dumped 17 inches of snow on the city Saturday. The executive director of the commission that runs the dome, Bill Lester, says a crew that had been clearing snow was pulled off Saturday night due to safety concerns. He says the crew stopped work well before the collapse.
The roof collapse has put the Vikings-Giants game in doubt. It had already been postponed to Monday. Now Lester says it may be moved to the University of Minnesota or to another NFL domed stadium.
