MPR’s Cathy Wurzer interviews Bill Lester, executive director of the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, about the status of Metrodome after roof collapse from heavy snow on December 12, 2010.
Due to a combination of 17-inch snowfall and heavy winds, on the early morning hours of December 12th, three roof panels tore, sending a cascade of snow onto the football field. There were no injuries, but the roof had to ultimately be replaced.
