Time lapse of snow removal from TCF Bank Stadium

When the roof of the Metrodome collapsed after a huge blizzard in the Twin Cities, TCF Bank Stadium became the home field for the Minnesota Vikings. The University of Minnesota community had to come together to remove 40,000 cubic yards of snow - which is the equivalent of a 20 foot blanket of snow sitting on top of the football field. This time lapse shows all the work that was put in to make Monday Night Football possible.

I hope the cleanup crew received free tickets to this game for their hard work.

@Shaded07 You're an idiot. That field is never used after November. This was a rare case in which the Vikings needed to use it, because their roof collapsed.

@PGOLDEN88 they got paid I believe $5 an hour for it

lindsay whalen organized the entire effort, multiplied herself, moved the snow with her bare hands, and then was the backup RB for Adrian Peterson for the game. FACT!

Whose bright idea was it to build an outdoor football stadium in Minnesota?
