It wasn't the first time that the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (better known simply as the Dome) collapsed. That happened a total of four times in the stadium's 31-year life span. But it was arguably the most dramatic.
After a fierce winter storm dumped 17 inches of snow, three sections of the Teflon-coated fiberglass roof tore, causing the roof to collapse. No one was injured, but the Vikings game against the New York Giants was moved. To another dome. One in Detroit.
Lefse-wrapped Swedish wontons, a soothing bowl of rice porridge and a gravy-laden commercial filled our week with comfort and warmth.
