The NFL and Vikings ownership – the present-day owners, the Wilfs, and the previous owner Red McCombs – have long been frustrated by the lack of attention received by the franchise on repeated attempts for public funding assistance to build a new stadium. The problem for them is not simply that funds have not been allocated to help the Vikings; it is those funds have been allocated to help other sports properties in Minneapolis. Now comes the collapse under the weight of a monster snowstorm. The Vikings have long been rumored to be a potential tenant in a new stadium in Los Angeles; those rumors will now pick up steam.

The roomers will pickup, but the quality of structure really isn't the issue, it is only 30 years old, afterall. Its the revenue problems that the Dome has, worst in the league. Good leverage towards a new stadium, though.
