TCF Bank Stadium looks to be the site of the Vikings' next home game this weekend, when they host NFC North rivals Chicago Bears.
A report by the Minnesota Star Tribune said that: "Engineers and workers who inspected the Metrodome's collapsed roof on Tuesday found damage from the weekend's blizzard was worse than initially thought, according to the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission."
"Our first priority is the safety and well-being of the Vikings fans and players, the hundreds of youth sports, community and other groups that use the Metrodome throughout the year and our employees," commission president Roy Terwilliger said in announcing that Mall of America field won't be ready for next Monday night.
A snowstorm over the weekend dumped roughly 17 inches of snow in Minneapolis and caused the roof of the Metrodome to collapse.
"We're going to do the best we can to get as prepared as we can for Monday night's game," said Scott Ellison, assistant athletic director for facilities at the University of Minnesota, to the Star Tribune.
"The Vikings are committed to ensuring a home game in Minnesota for our fans," the team said in a statement.
