If you haven’t seen it, here ya go.
If you’re not familiar with the roof of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN, it’s not like the roof of your typical, contemporary domed or retractable roof stadium. It’s literally like a giant freakin’ balloon that inflates to lift the attached frame work, creating contour and shape.
This video is fantastic compared to some of the others that have been circulating, based on the fact that you can see the roof as it should be, followed by the minimal damage resulting in leaks. All this before blizzard hell broke loose. The roof, unable to sustain the weight, simply sagged like the excess skin of a lap-band recipient, and finally gave way to the snow.
Obviously the game between the NY Giants and the Minnesota Vikings won’t be played in Minneapolis, and has been moved to Ford Field in Detroit. Ticket holders to the game will be given dibs to the good seats in Detroit, and the general admission seats will be offered for free–first come, first served.
Enjoy the video.
