Last weekend, the Dallas Cowboys’ practice facility collapsed during a storm in which winds reached nearly 70 mph. The facility was built by Allentown, Pa.-based Summit Structures LLC in 2003.
But records obtained by the Associated Press yesterday indicate that the company has built at least three other facilities that have collapsed during severe weather storms.
According to their website, Summit has built dozens of sporting facilities around the world, including in Columbia, Mo. Summit completed work on the University of Missouri’s indoor tennis facility in 2002, according Missouri’s official athletic website.
Of the building, the Mizzou athletic website says: “The unique facility is a metal frame and fabric structure. It will have the flexibility of indoor and outdoor play as it will have adjustable sides that will allow the facility to be opened in warm weather, and enclosed and heated during winter months.”
