What did they say? 17 inches of snow? Really not a big deal. We got 50+ in 3 days last week and supposed to match that this week and our dome hasn't collapsed.

The dome is something like 28 years old. Of course somethings gonna happen to it. it would have been fine under normal circumstances, but this storm was fucking crazy.

1. If it snows on a roof, common sense tells you to get some Mexicans up there and brush it off.

2. This is not the first time this roof has fell. I think it was in 81,82 and even 83, the roof fell. Or maybe it was 83,84 and 85, I don't remember.

3. I want it to snow in Denver, it has not snowed forever is seems like.

Age shouldn't really matter as long as it's kept up. We have no problem with dams that were built in the 30s. The storm could not have been that bad, it was 17".

A note: the stadium is 30 years old roughly. It's shit. In '81 82 and 83 the top 3 worst storms hit in twin cities history which is why it collapsed last time. The snow wasn't cleared off because there were blizzard conditions Saturday night. And they don't go up and shovel that shit, they spray fire hoses with super super hot water on top and melt it. Which is why water poured into the do e in the video above. Also because of this, no jibs are possible there. But the rest of the cities are fair game...
