Game is played in Minneapolis Sunday. Nearly 2 feet of snow has fallen and may not let up until morning. Possibility that KO will be delayed and good luck driving to the stadium.

They have to reschedule that game. No one can move. Expect a couple of feet of snow in Minn. Plows ordered off the road because of "white outs".

I have tix to the game. Let me start off by saying the Giants SCREWED UP. Yeah they moved the flight up 4 hours Sat. All they had to do was watch the forecast to see it was going to get bad Saturday around midnight. Flying in at 3am wasn't going to help.
And the "weather" really didn't postpone the game. This was FOX National Game. They were going to play no matter what, BUT then it was determined the roof wasn't safe with the snow on top. They tried to send some workers out tonight to clear off, but 35 mph winds cancelled that plan!

Why the heck did they divert to Kansas City? O'hare was available all day and much closer. Who do the Giants use for their charters? Hooters Air? The airline below -AA- would have gotten them into the breach. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgeT-F9- ... re=related

I just checked out the history at MSP and they did get socked with heavy snow for 12 hours. They never should have left from Newark with weather that bad at the destination. They should have held the crew in the hotel and waited. O'Hare weather was no big deal maybe they could have landed there and waited for the weather to break. .
If the extraordinary Stormy's Majesty was dispatching this flight he would have delayed it until the weather was forecast to break then loaded them up with enough holding fuel to keep them in the air until the Jets next super bowl win. Looks like the Giants got an amateur flight plan and a one way ticket to palookaville.
