In a letter sent to customers of the Allentown, Pa.-based company, Nathan Stobbe of Summit Structures LLC explained that the Dallas Cowboys' indoor practice facility collapsed this spring because it got a new roof last year for aesthetics, not not structural problems.
Stobbe was trying to reassure customers that their buildings are safe. He wrote "Please be assured that your buildings have been designed, engineered and manufactured to meet or exceed all local applicable building codes."
But the collapsed Cowboys' 80,000-square-foot facility was the fifth Summit building known to have fallen in the last seven years. (Fortunately, no players wearing minnesota vikings jersey was there.) And a person with knowledge of the Cowboys' facility at the time of the roof repair said there were several troubling issues, none of them related to the way the building looked. One of the toubles was defects in the fabric that could have caused structural problems if not repaired.
