The Giants never made it to Minneapolis, stranded in Kansas City after a blizzard hit the Twin Cities, causing the Metrodome roof to collapse for the fourth time, but the first time since 1983. Heavy snows also caused the previous failures.
"There were no injuries, which we're thankful for," said Bill Lester, executive director of the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission.
With the switch of the game to Ford Field, where the Lions were playing the Packers on Sunday afternoon, the NFL said fans with tickets to that game could use their ticket for a free admission to Giants-Vikings, with no reserved seating.
Makes one wonder if Packers fans who traveled to Detroit would stick around an extra day to boo Brett Favre— presuming he is recovered from a right shoulder injury enough to keep his record consecutive starts streak going.
The league also said free general admission tickets for other fans who want to watch the Giants and Vikings will be available in Detroit.
"We're going to work to make this as accommodating of a game for both teams, but particularly the Vikings, since it is their home game that is being lost," Lions President Tom Lewand said.
