As a Vikings fan with bad memories of The HHH Metrodome repeatedly collapsing, not every day, week, or month, but several times over a number of years , including from heavy snow, I just hope our bubble-- given the advances in design and technology-- is more durable long-term than the late Metrodome !!!
It is encouraging that the manufacturer is paying for the repairs--living in Montana, both MSU and us definitely need an indoor facility, not now, though the AC on hot days would be nice. Our friends in North Dakota and Minnesota like to whine/brag about how cold it is there, and they are 100 % correct that winter is brutal in both neighboring states on the northern tier, with such ice boxes as Grand Forks and International Falls. ( As my friend Tim that drove truck in The Bakken Oil Fields on the Montana-North Dakota border for about 15 years told me, many of his peers were " seasonal employees" from the East Texas and Louisiana oil patch--as soon as November hit, most of these Southern boys wanted no part of a brutal ND winter !!! But as I like to point out to our friends in ND and Minn., the coldest temperature ever recorded in The Lower 48 wasn't in ND or Minn., but right here in Montana @ Rogers' Pass, Elevation: 5,600 feet, Jan., 1954, - 70 below zero, not the wind chill but the actual temperature. Thirty years ago when I worked in Great Falls but still had my apartment in Missoula, I used to look at the blinking yellow light and sign on Rogers' Pass as a reminder that anyone driving that highway needed to be prepared for a car breakdown because if you aren't prepared in the winter while driving that highway, by the time the Montana Highway Patrol, local sheriff, or US Forest Service gets to you, you could be dead, frozen as hard as a rock !!!
