Giants game moved to Monday @ 8:00pm, maybe

Metrodome officials convinced the NFL to move the Giants-Vikings back a day due to safety concerns.

It turned out to be a very wise decision when the roof of the stadium collapsed overnight under the weight of snow from a blizzard. There were no immediate reported injuries.

The NFL is investigating its options on where to play the game. One possibility likely being tossed around is TCF Bank Stadium, where the University of Minnesota's football team plays its games. However, that stadium only holds 50,085, whereas the Metrodome seats over 60,000. Plus, it's an outdoor venue, so it'll take quite an effort to remove the snow before Monday night's scheduled kickoff. (Ledger)
