I just hope nobody was inside when it failed.  This is unforgiveably bad engineering.

Status: offline 		From what i understand the game was postponed mainly it seems because the giants couldn't get there, they were stuck in Kansas City.  While the weather being unstable was a consideration, its kinda hard to play a football game when one team can't get into the city.

Why?

Status: offline 		My daughter talked to a horse trainer friend in MN over facebook. Their house and barn are standing up fine but they needed a snowplow to rescue a horse in a paddock. It was unable to move, being trapped by snowdrifts six feet high. However they think they got to it in time, and it should recover safely inside the barn with a warm mash.
