28-year old Metrodome tech failure shown in 'Metrodome collapse video'

The 28-year old technology that was the air-supported fiberglass roof of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome could not stand under the weight of the heavy snowfall in the area. The Metrodome collapse video here is something likely never before seen. �Despite its high-tech root, the Metrodome is the 9th oldest stadium in the NFL.In fact, the way Fox Sports showed the snow and the fine quality of the Metrodome collapse video makes it look like something out of science fiction. The Metrodome was the second major sports facility to have a domed roof supported completely by air, with the first being the Pontiac Silverdome. �Comments from the Fox Sports analysts shown in a YouTube version of the Metrodome collapse video (likely to be taken down for copyright reasons) showed the analysts comparing the video to a James Cameron movie.Because of the collapse, a game between the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings has been moved to Ford Field in Detroit, with kickoff at 7:20PM EST on Monday.Watch the mayhem in the sidebar.
