    Could a permanent roof not holdup against Snow?
    Or be built in a way to stop it from all compiling against the roof.

    They have one in Detroit.

    They also have a bunch of basketball arenas that have been able to figure it out (as they all have dome-like roofs).

    Geez. Brett Favre dying under a deluge of freezing water would have been a weird Darren Aronofsky-ish end to his life and career.

    The video does not look real. Surprised it was moved to Detroit instead of U of Minnesota's stadium.

    Someone posted that the Giants only packed "indoor" gear. Makes sense.

    I read that, but couldn't the Giants get cold weather gear in Minnesota or have it sent from NY?

    April through October is generally wonderful. January/February are generally brutal. The other months are hit and miss from year to year.
