    Detroit's Ford Field will host the New York Giants-Minnesota Vikings game Monday night, moved from Minneapolis after the Metrodome's inflatable Teflon roof collapsed under the weight of snow from a heavy storm that passed through Saturday.

    The game, with a 7:20 p.m. ET kickoff, had already been postponed from Sunday after the Giants' flight was diverted Saturday to Kansas City as Minnesota air travel was shut down.

    "At this point I would play this game in a parking lot," Giants defensive end Justin Tuck said in a text to ESPN.com's Matt Mosley on Sunday.

    Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission chairman Roy Terwilliger said he's optimistic the roof can be repaired in time for the Vikings to host the Chicago Bears in their next scheduled home game on Dec. 20, giving workers eight days to replace three damaged panels and re-raise the Teflon roof.

    The roof collapsed about 5 a.m. Sunday.
