away damaged panels in Metrodome, well I guess a shotgun would do the job pretty good. Must have been watching some Red Green episodes to come up with that idea though...

They should light that roof on fire and be done with it. Can't believe they are going to waste $2mil to fix that piece of crap.

Think more, much more. I read where the "response" (can't really say repairs) up to this point has cost $1.5M. Believe at minimum, they are talking about replacing 9 panels. I would bet the farm you'll see lot's of finger pointing and legal mumbo-jumbo cast in the next week(s) which will likely delay the repairs further. Don't book your hotels quite yet for the winter home shows, monster-truck rallies or Twins-fest.

Cheapest scenario would be to replace the existing fabric (probably will need new cables too) for about $15M.
