With Minnesota Vikings Schedule Out, Metrodome on the Hot Seat

With the 2011-2012 Minnesota Vikings schedule released, the Metrodome is now on the hot seat. They will have to make sure to finish their rebuilding schedule by the first game. Of course, this is all barring a lockout since there may not even be a season. Hopefully the Metrodome will be completed in time for the Minnesota Vikings to play their preseason games as well. The first two preseason games are on the road, giving the process two more weeks to complete.

Metrodome Roof Making Progress

The Metrodome Roof is currently being installed, literally as we speak. The harsh Minnesota spring/water has made it tough for the workers, but they are still diligently at work. Reportedly, half of the 64 panels have already been replaced and work is still on schedule to be completed by August 1st, 2011. Crews are working on it 10 hours per day, 6 days a week.

Metrodome Roof Update

The Metrodome Roof Repair will officially begin today. The repairs should take the rest of the spring and a large part of the summer, as three large panels will be replaced before the roof is reinflated. After that part is completed, then comes the cleanup of the field. Slowly but surely the Metrodome roof will be back on, and hopefully games will be played. The hope is that the Minnesota Vikings will be playing there for the 2011-2012 NFL Season. Bookmark my blog for any Metrodome roof updates!
