The best news to come out of this is that Detroit will finally get to host a game between two NFL teams.

The Packers' offense also doesn't have much air in it this week.

The same thing happened with the Olympic Stadium in Montréal about 10 years ago, during the annual Auto Show.. over 1600 tons of snow fell through the roof!

Some Civil Engineer somewhere is wishing he went for a better engineering degree.

I'm sure it was built within standardised engineering parameters within a (low) budget.

I just wonder how they will get all that snow off the roof now. I mean, when it's a bubble, you just push it off the edge. When it's in the shape of a bowl, you'll have to throw it UP to get it off the roof. You can't drive a truck up there. I see us caving in too (no pun intended) and just buying a new stadium.

I assume they'll take care of it the same way they have when this has happened in the past: Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
