Repairs to the UNO Soccer Dome will allow the popular facility to reopen on a limited basis starting Monday, a spokesman for the university said.
University of Nebraska at Omaha spokesman Tim Kaldahl said Sunday that heavy snow is being blamed for a rip that caused the dome near 68th and Spring Streets to close Saturday. The rip caused the dome to deflate but there were no injuries, he said.
“Our maintenance staff has made a temporary fix and reinflated the dome,” Kaldahl said. “More permanent repairs will be made this week.”
Kaldahl said the dome is “heavily rented” for indoor soccer games and practices.
