Extreme Weather

During this week of the NFL, the Minnesota Vikings   Staduim called the Metrodome collasped. This lead to the game being postponed. This sort of phenomenon never happens because the amount of snow that hit the metrodome made it collaspe like a burst bubble but rugby games havnt had something like this as they normally play in areans that are outside and not in staduims but this doesnt mean that the games havent had games effected by weather.

While doing Research I realized that rugby games have been affected by weather, such as the New Zealand v The British and Irish Lions First Test – Jade Stadium, Christchurch 2005, which was played in  really rough conditions. The wind was high and the rain was pounding, which lead to extremly harsh conditions.

Also another game that had a huge weather factor was the Bears vs Patriots which had a  huge snow fall and had very windy periods. This goes to show how both games can play through the weather barrior.
