Yep … saw the opening kickoff and just as the first play was to start they cleared the field because lightning had struck within 6 miles. Ok 30 minute wait no problem … 2 hours and 40 minutes of waiting later they called the whole thing off … Rain lightning thunder more rain … wind … on and on and on … nuts … and yeah they cancelled the whole game … no chance of a replay I guess …

Fox had that it would be played today at 10:30 am but the logistics of getting just the food service folks back and restocked was almost impossible. It takes about 5000 service folks to run a game with 90K people at it … huge event. Police and first aid responders and security and vendors … you just don't call them all back on a few hours notice … we still had fun … until they ran out of the Valentino's Pizza and the Runza's … then we knew it was getting serious … So next week will be the season opener against are old Big 8 and 12 foe Colorado … today I am resting up and looking forward to the home opener next week …
