under the weight of snow. Today's Giants/Vikes game postponed. No definite plans for how it will be made up last I heard.

Dayum.

The dome didn't collapse. It just caved in because it's punctured and has basically deflated like a rubber boat.

 

[senco78]

Maybe some good can come of this. Maybe now that the ceiling is down at field level someone can put a nice coat of paint on it.

Think how much easier it would have been for Michelangelo if the Sistine Chapel had a dome like that which would collapse down to floor level.

Here's an inside view that was on fox. Would have been scary if it had happened during the game.
