Report: Minneapolis Metrodome roof collapses

[snofarmer]

And a roof.
The news reported this evening that the NFL has concerns about the vikings game being played out side as the field is frozen. This could lead to the players being injured.

Go Vikes!

Oh boy. Building out in the suburbs. My philosophy is that sports teams are suppose to play in the major city, not the suburbs. In my view, it means more reliance on a car to get to places. What does a person with no car do?

Green Bay, New England, Washington, Buffalo, Dallas, New York Jets, New York Giants, and I'm sure a few others seem to be doing just fine.

Well if you don't have a car, either A) you can't afford one and therefore probably aren't able to afford an NFL ticket as well, or B) are some urban hipster that feels they're too cool for a car and more likely than not don't give two ****s about the Vikings or any other sports team. Seriously, the number of carless households in the Twin Cities is miniscule and the number that don't fit into one of those two categories is practically zero.

So you think you know everything about people without cars? How generalizing. How judgmental. You don't know everything. For all one might know, the person without a car probably doesn't want to deal with the hassle of paying for gas and insurance. Said person could also be a student who might be able to get some money for a Vikings ticket.

BTW, I am a student who is being offered a job with my university. If everything works out, I will have that job. I would indeed be able to scratch up some money for a Vikings ticket or any other sporting event. I also have roommates, so that cuts down on rent. I don't have a car because I am terrified of Atlanta traffic and probably wouldn't make it.
