Not only did the Vikings not make the playoffs this past year, but the collapse of the Metrodome roof made it a bad year financially for the team according to Sid Hartman of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The Vikings lost more than $10 million in gate receipts as a result of the roof collapse at the Metrodome that forced the game against the Giants to be moved to Detroit and the one against the Bears to move to TCF Bank Stadium, according to information provided by the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, which runs the Dome.
