The roof has collapsed before...but all of the sudden it is being used as an excuse for a new stadium?
There is a chance it will be repaired and ready to go by next Sunday...so the repairs can’t be that expensive (a week’s labor and three rolls of duct tape?)
I’m sure the NFL lost alot of money on this - and they will use this to bully the Vikings into a new stadium...how much would it cost to cut that tarp off the stadium and call it ready for play?
Good question. Does it really need the baggie on top?
It hasn’t collapsed on the morning of a game before, and this is the second to last season of their lease. “Good” timing for the Vikings’ owners. And you couldn’t just cut it off and call it ready to play, there’s a lot of important stadium parts (like the lights) attached to the roof. Not to mention that the field isn’t designed to deal with moisture.

Actually, the Vikes next, and last for the season, home game was to be Monday, 12/20 vs Chicago. There’s no way in hell it will be ready by then.
One of the Lions officials was on local radio a few minutes ago and pretty much said the same thin. They are even removing the Lions logo from mid filed and in the end zones and replacing it with the Vikings logo.
