Just after the Dallas area received 5 inches of snow and ice, 6 stadium workers were injured when ice fell from the roof of the new Cowboys Stadium. Bystanders said it looked like snow drifting off the roof but when it hit the ground and saw people being knocked down they realized it was ice... big chucks of frozen ice. There were 2 major injuries, one man was hit in the head and another in the shoulder... the other 4 had less serious injuries. As of right now the stadium is roped off 100 feet from the building with only 1 entrance open. They are heating the dome hoping that will melt the ice before anymore can fall off.Friday, February 4, 2011
