Lightning delays start of No. 10 Miami’s game against Ball State
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The start of Saturday’s game between No. 10 Miami and Ball State is being delayed by lightning in the area.
The game was scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. Eastern and was tentatively pushed back 30 minutes to 4 p.m.
Rain was in the forecast for the area around Hard Rock Stadium, though none had fallen when the lightning delay was announced. There was lightning within 8 miles of the stadium and that meant all fans who had already found their way to their seats had to seek shelter under cover in the concourses.
Both teams were off the field when the delay was announced.
