Security said don’t go into the bowl, so the first thing we did was go into the bowl 😂😂
-
everyone is paying attention to the roof, and I'm sitting here saying "that dude was in there working his ass off at 5AM..."
-
"I could tell we wouldn't be able to play in the dome after seeing the damage" "I knew the game was gonna be played somewhere, just not at the dome" "The sudden change was very sudden" Wow, Vikings management with some stellar observations here.

When he said, 'The sudden change was very sudden', I felt that. Having all the sports in the same venue sounds like a cost-efficient genius idea. But when you see the final product and complaints coming in, it's too late and a waste of money. RFK Stadium, Montreal Olympic Stadium, Oakland Coliseum, all of these were poorly designed in the name of squishing sports without thinking about the fan experience. The roof collapsing was the tip of the iceberg.

Why the hell did I just watch a 20 minute documentary on an arena roof collapsing 10 years ago?
-
"Do NOT go in the bowl" So anyway I'm in the bowl right....
-
Longtime Vikings fan, I remember when this happened thinking how crazy it was, then my next thought was thank goodness no one was hurt and it didn't happened with a packed stadium, that could have made things 10x worse.

My dad and I traveled through that storm to go to that game. He’s a Giants fan. A 3 hour trip took almost 7 1/2 hours. We spun out on I-35 and almost hit the ditch at one point but corrected at the last min. We stayed at my sisters house and remember weakening up the next day and we were so disappointed. I’ll never forget that weekend and all the crazy stuff that happened.

“Don’t go in the bowl!” “So I took it personally.”
-
"They said do NOT GO IN THE BOWL." So the first thing we did was go look in the bowl
-
I don't know anything about the Metrodome's history...but it is always very informative to learn how facilities/operations teams deal with emergencies in huge buildings/stadiums like this. Thank you for posting.

13:10 the fan with the "Go Lions?" sign is Goated lol

“This is the first nfl game played on a Tuesday since 1946” 2020:
-
8:42 - “The sudden change was very sudden”. What a genius.
-
I remember that Minneapolis miracle like it was yesterday. I'm a Saints fan. I mean that one still hurts to think about but it's cool to have seen the Vikings bounce back like they did. I didn't even know about the roof collapse and the new stadium looks amazing not even going to lie.

Glad they saw this as a sign that the Metrodome was at the end of its life and had to be replaced. Sure that roof might have been a good idea at first, but with all the snow Minnesota gets, it was gonna happen eventually. It needed a more modern approach, and US Bank Stadium was the answer. Funny thing is Minnesota's sports authority did an inspection on the Metrodome's roof that same year in April and concluded that it was still in very good shape and didn't need to be replaced...aged like milk

Security: do not go into the bowl Equipment staff: goes directly to the bowl 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
-
I remember when they rescheduled their game to Detroit the week after the dome collapsed. I wanted to go but the weather was horrendous lol
-
As a facility engineer, I applaud they way you met adversity with creativity.
