Insurance Will Cover Roof Replacement

From the Star Tribune:

"The Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission said Thursday that it will receive $22.7 million from its insurer, Affiliated FM, to replace the 29-year-old roof ripped open during a Dec. 12 blizzard."

"According to the work schedule, the job of replacing the roof is expected to take 120 days, ending with inflation of the roof in the last week of July. New roof panels will arrive every week or so from now through late June."

That is definitely good news for the HHH Metrodome. I am glad to hear that they will receive a $22.7 million insurance boost and that it end in July.

RT Rybak Only Supports New Minnesota Vikings Stadium At or Near Metrodome Location

The Minnesota Vikings are working on a new stadium. The mayor of Minneapolis, RT Rybak, wants to see a new stadium for the fans of the Minnesota Vikings. Last week, RT Rybak voiced his opinion on the ongoing location debate. Rybak only supports a new stadium at or near the current Metrodome location. While Rybak has said he believes the Metrodome is the best site available, he has stopped short of criticizing the Arden Hills location that poses as a possbility for a new stadium. Hopefully RT Rybak can help in the stadium negotations.
