UNI-Dome Snow Collapse Triggers Repeated Restorations
The UNI-Dome, a 16 000 seat arena built for 7 5 million, collapsed again after Tuesday night snowfall. Workers 130 feet above ground battle wind and ice to keep the roof clear using water sprays and warm air ducts. The dome has failed three times since its Halloween 1975 debut, with prior incidents in 1976 and 1977, each followed by rapid restorations. The Kansas Northern Iowa women's game was halted with 16 minutes 31 seconds left as roof leakage appeared.
