Vice President of Operations Jim Nolan said they were lucky on two fronts.

"The timing of the storm ending around midnight coupled with the NFL moving the game back to 4 p.m., that gave us a much bigger window to get the job done," he said.

In the stands, 400 people shoveled the snow into chutes where it is collected and hauled away.
