Rupp Arena may be a little bit toastier Saturday when The Kentucky Wildcats host the LSU Tigers.
UK just announced via press release that Rupp Arena’s HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) system has suddenly encountered an electrical switch gear problem which is limiting its ability to properly air condition the entire arena.
The schools stresses that, this situation presents no danger to the public and will not impede Saturday's game, fans should be aware that it could be warmer than usual in the arena and should plan to dress accordingly. The Rupp staff will continue to work to correct the malfunction to resume normal operations, but if it's not corrected by game time, there will be no pyrotechnics for starting lineups.
