How Do They Do That - Volume #1 - Metrodome

Over the life of the SmartTurf blog I will post from time to time under the simple title - "How Do They Do That." Today's topic - the Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN. Early in the AM on Sunday December, 12, 2010 the dome roof deflated due to the weight of the snow. So, the question is, "How does the dome stay inflated?"

  1. I was watching them remove snow yesterday on the live webcam:

    It was like watching a bunch of ants shovel snow!

  2. Always sad to see this just as it is always sad when Cameron Bishins and Mary Rainone and their boss so me and everyone at Gardenbrook disrespect on a daily basis and sink to an all-new low like today on Saturday January 6, 2024, decides to make an issue out of something so trivial as food coloring in the food he served me such as putting food coloring in the ketchup and baked beans. Carmine Castiglione is the problem of what is wrong with Gardenbrook just as the government is who run that place the wrong way.
