Metrodome Roof Collapses Due to SnowUpdated Sunday, Dec. 12 2:55 p.m. The Metrodome, home to the Minneapolis Vikings, is known for being able to handle massive amounts of snow. However, this weekend's blizzard in the Midwest may actually be too much even for the Metrodome! According to KARE-TV and ESPN, the roof of the Metrodome has collapsed due to heavy snow and winds.

One of those tears is in the middle of the roof and allowed some snow and ice to spill onto the playing field. A KARE-TV photographer, reporting from the scene, says the dome caved in so that it was not visible from ground level. Usually, you can see the dome of the roof from the outside, as seen in the photo below.

However, the NFL says the Metrodome will not be able to host the game. The game will be played tomorrow night in Detroit. As of Sunday morning, there are no reports of injuries. The Weather Channel and weather.com will have frequent updates on this story as it develops.
