After the recent snow storms the Midwest has been facing, the Viking's Home Statdium, the Metrodome (officially known as the Mall of America Field), deflated under pressure and collapsed, spilling tons of snow onto the field. The Vikings and Giants game was postponed and moved to Detroit's Ford Field, to be played with free admission.
The Metrodome opened only 28 years ago at a cost of less than %70 million, and this is the fourth deflation on record. No one was hurt, however. I feel it's pretty sad that a stadium in one of the most snow-ridden parts of the country wouldn't be able to withstand a snow storm. This whole event has sparked more discussion about the Vikings moving to Los Angeles. As a Packer fan I can only say, "Good riddance."
