Only two Twins games in the Metrodome were ever postponed. The first was on April 14, 1983, when a massive snowstorm prevented the California Angels from getting to Minneapolis. The game would have likely been postponed in any case, however; that night heavy snow caused part of the roof to collapse. The second was on August 2, 2007, when the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge collapsed a few blocks away from the Metrodome. The game scheduled for August 1 was played as scheduled because the team and police officials were worried about too many fans departing the Metrodome at one time, therefore causing conflict with rescue workers. The August 2 game and ceremonial groundbreaking at stadium were postponed to a due to the bridge collapse.
