A roofing worker died after falling on Wednesday from the roof of a football stadium being built in downtown Minneapolis for the Minnesota Vikings and a second was seriously injured. One worker fell about 50 feet from the edge of the roof of U.S. Bank Stadium into a snow gutter below the main roof and died as a result of his injuries. The circumstances of the fall have not been verified. It is unknown whether the workers were wearing harnesses or were required to do so. The second worker was injured while on the roof, and did not fall as previously reported. The cause and circumstances of his injuries are under investigation. All work on the stadium stopped yesterday with hopes to resume construction on Thursday.
