They just announced the game will be kicking off at 8:50.

Still raining for the moment, but it seems the lightning might finally be moving on to the south. Hoping maybe we can kickoff by 9:00 maybe.

Hope

Well. The rain has eased up significantly, but there just now more flashes of lightning over the stadium. 😕

It’s clear all around us, but this storm is dumping right on top of us. Thunder and lightning right over us.

(I’m kidding)

(… kind of)

It is absolutely raining torrentially right now. The men’s bathroom under the stadium has standing water in it. I’m stuck in here with the band … send help.

Yuck

This is why we’re delayed right now.

Because of the weather delay, that time to kickoff is wrong as of right now.

Welp, we’re in a weather delay for lightning in the area at the moment, so kickoff will be delayed a bit.
