Lightning and heavy rain have delayed the Michigan-Minnesota game at Michigan Stadium.
The gates to the stadium will not be open to fans until 30 minutes after the last lighting strike, and right now that’s projected for 7:30 p.m. – the original start time for the game. The game is expected to kick off at 8:45 p.m.
According to the weather radar, it appears to be a gap in rain from 7:45 until about 10:15 and then there’s another wave of rain coming. But lightning is the issue. The game is delayed 30 minutes after every lightning strike within a 10-mile radius.
