    Why not just form it to be a sharp peak so the snow doesn't build up in the first place? I thought all cold areas had to follow such standards anyways.

    lol a roof of plastic up there is about as goos of an idea as a flat roof down here. Someday they will figure that out. Until then you guys get holes and we get water stains on the ceiling.

    Nah.....We can build 'em.....it's the filling 'em we have a problem with.

    The Dumpty Dome is the last 'old" stadium we have. It's about ~30 years old now. We just built new arenas for the Wild, Gopher Hockey, Gopher Womens Hockey and Tennis ,Gopher Football, and Twinkies (and we REALLY outdid ourselves with that gem), and the Vikes have been trying to get one for ~10 years now. The problem is we are out of money (not that that's ever stopped the dems around here), and Ziggy (the Vikes owner) wants us to finance his dream of "Ziggy World". He wants to build a little mini shopping/tourist trap area surrounding the stadium.

    Personally, I would like to see the TV Networks kick in some dough. Hell....they already dictate when and where games are played, they might as well kick in too.

    And yeah.....that's the fourth time it has happened. It happened twice in the first couple of years, but it hasn't happened in a long time. Just so there is no real panic, both hockey stadiums are ok....so we'll be fine.

    Well the way the stadium is designed is that they keep the temperature inside the stadium relatively warm, so that when shit like snow, ice and sleet fall on the roof they are supposed to melt and just slide off the roof. But Im assuming that a snow fall of this magnitude was never really considered in the design process. Snow storms like this one only really come once every 20 years or more, last one being the 1991 Halloween blizzard. Someone forgot to turn the heat up on the place and keep it at that 75+ degree mark for it to work properly. Oh well, maybe its the final push Zigi needs to get a new stadium.

    We take Hockey as seriously up here, as they take animal sex in Indiana. Premier arenas for both college and pro teams.
