Thats what I said when they built it. MPLS gets more snow than just about any city in the lower 48....HELLO!!!
Would like to see the stats between Twin Cities and Syracuse NY for snow. Both have Domes and I think the Carrier Dome has gone down only a couple of times (the policy was to deflate it if they got tons of Lake effect) and since the roof was replaced in 1999 it has never collapsed. They get a heck of a lot of snow in Syracuse! (I notice that the Twin cities aren’t even ON this list!
