1. One bank of lights went out. I was at a game a few years back in NC where one half of the lights went out (no not at the point lol) and they played on one side of the field. from the -45 in on the non scoreboard side. The other part of the field was pitch black. Would they call the game, or continue another day?
2. Lightning. I've seen games (mostly baseball) delayed. Would they do the same here?
3. Hurricane weather. Again more in NC in early part of the season, but we can get some ripple effects with downpours, and possible unsafe conditions.
just playing devil's advocate and seeing what would be done.
I was at a game maybe 20 yrs. ago in Patton, vs. Bedford. Before the half, one side of the field opposite the scoreboard was blacked out due to transformer problem. After extended halftime delay, both teams agreed to play on. Bedford was coming out of the dark side. Threw a hail Mary to Bill Benbow blowing past everyone for the long TD! Caught on his outstretched hands. How he saw it coming out of the dark, IDK. Impressive as heck.
Made me think of another game at Patton Stadium, maybe 10-15 years ago. Heights v McCort. Lights go out on half the field. They played on the half with lights and turned around when they crossed midfield.
