Yea, watching that was pretty amazing. I thought it looked like a bunch of 3D graphics, but it was all reality!

Hory Ship!

That's crazy.

That's why these teams need to man up and play in the snow!

yea saw the video watching football yesterday. Crazy! Can you imagine if that, happened during a game. Looks like the roof is a tent and not an actual steel structure.

Leave it to some dumb civil engineer to mis-calculate snow loads.

It is actually more like a semi-rigid balloon- it relies on air pressure from a bunch of 90HP blower fans

If that's not bad enough, this is the 3rd time this same exact thing has happened on that exact stadium's inflatable roof. You'd think they'd learn the first time.

This. Getting tackled by tons of snow in one solid stream would suck big time!

When I saw it on TV, I thought it was fake, but alas, it was real!

Looks absolutely scary.

From Colbert tonight:

"The Minnesota Vikings stadium roof collapsed, and it still has a better shot at the Superbowl than the team!"
