The roof of the Minnesota Vikings' Metrodome is deflated Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014, in downtown Minneapolis. The 10 acres of Teflon-coated fabric were done deflating in 35 minutes. The deflation and the demolition of the Dome beginning next week will make way for construction of a new $1 billion Vikings stadium.
