Paid volunteers helped clear snow from the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on December 15, 2010. Because of damage to the Metrodome, the university's stadium will host the Minnesota Vikings game against the Chicago Bears on December 20, 2010.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Minnesota Public Radio News reporter Tim Nelson who spoke from TCF Bank stadium.
