Vikes look to Prevail after Dome Fails

The nearly two feet of snow that fell in Minneapolis this weekend has left the Dome as doubtful on the injury report. The Metrodome collapsed at about 5 in the morning, no one was hurt, and has left the vikings already postponed game, with even more changes. The Vikings will now face off against the Giants in Detroit at Ford Field at 6:20 Monday night. The game will be televised on Fox. The Dome's roof is held up by twenty 90 horse powered fans. This was not enough to withstand the 22 inches of snow that kept piling up on the top. The roof has three panels that have been torn and damaged. The Vikings have been contacting experts around the world trying to assess the situation. The Vikings had contacted the University of Minnesota, about playing at TCF Bank, but they said that the stadium has been shut down for the year. They said they could not get it ready by Monday night.

AS for what this means for the Vikings, this gives Favre one more day to recover from the sprained shoulder that has held him out of practice all week. Favre said he would not have been able to go if the game was today, but we will see what happens tomorrow. The Giants were stuck in Kansas City all night and now will have to go to Detroit. As for the game check back in after the game tomorrow night for blog about the game.
