As many flocked to downtown Columbus to partake in the annual tradition of Red, White & Boom, a brave contingent of Columbus Crew SC fans elected to watch their team take on Costa Rican side Deportivo Saprissa in a friendly match Tuesday night at MAPFRE Stadium.
With the threat for severe weather looming in Central Ohio, both teams took to the pitch to begin pregame warmups. At approximately 6:40 p.m., both clubs were directed into their respective locker rooms as severe weather approached.
They would remain there for two hours and 20 minutes waiting for the weather to pass through the area.
