It's an air supported bubble that looks like a balloon when you drive by. Thunderstorms were going through the area at the time.
CBS 11 in Dallas says one of their sports reporters was taping at the time, so there may be video eventually.

6 to 7 ambulances on scene, and one had already left for the hospital.
Players and personnel are trying to find out if anyone is trapped inside...

Careflight confirming 54 injuries...that sounds falsely high. Probably meant 4 or 5.
4 video team members are injured, they film from high scaffolding

Most serious injury is the special team's coach has a broken back.
