GLENDALE, AZ - Crews are set to begin fixing the roof of University of Phoenix Stadium on Saturday.
A storm on Thursday caused a piece of the stadium's silver out shell to come off and tear the thin fabric that's part of the stadium's retractable roof, leaving a 1,500-square-foot hold surrounded by several smaller rips.
Some water also got inside the stadium but did not damage the scoreboards or other electronics.
Contractors are working to determine a damage estimate and how long it will take to fix the roof.
Fabric repairs should begin Saturday and repairs to the torn panel will start sometime next week.
Stadium officials say they're hopeful no events will be affected by the damage.
