Opened in 1982, the Minneapolis Metrodome collapsed yesterday under the weight of snow.

WIKI- "The stadium is well known for its fiberglass fabric roof that is self-supported by air-pressure.....Five times in the stadium's history, heavy snows or other weather conditions have significantly damaged the roof and in four instances caused it to deflate"
 
Its a bugger, as it put off the Vikings game vs the Giants. Its a shame as Brett Farve is injured and can't play.

This ended his consecutive starting of games at 297. Amazing.
