(AP) -- DALLAS (AP) - An engineer's report for the University of New Mexico says the school's football practice facility is vulnerable to the same type of winds that caused the Dallas Cowboys' practice field canopy to collapse.
The report, completed earlier this month, says the Albuquerque school's steel and fabric facility could be subjected to unforeseen pressure if hit by a major wind storm.
The New Mexico facility was designed and built by the same firm, Summit Structures LLC, that erected the failed Cowboys' structure. A dozen people were injured in the May 2 collapse.
A similar report prepared for Texas A&M in September found that the school's Summit-designed indoor football and track facility also wasn't built to withstand the maximum winds prescribed by the building code.
