College Football Stadium Completely Conquered By Hail And Lightning In Wild Scene

As a weather geek and football fan, these views are absolute aces.
Prior to their home game Saturday against UNLV, Wyoming was forced to deal with a hail storm, which left War Memorial Stadium completely covered with it in a truly wild scene.
It honestly looked like a winter wonderland in Laramie as you originally think the field was taken over by snow, that’s how much hail there was. And both teams were forced to deal with the conditions while playing. (RELATED: ‘I Do Whatever The F*ck I Want’: Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia Gets Into Heated Confrontation With Alabama Fan After Loss)
Watching the game on television, as well as seeing pictures of the stadium, it made for quite the sight to go along with what was already a grade-A college football Saturday. And it wasn’t just the hail either.
Other video from social media shows lightning sparking up in the middle of this “October Christmas.”

Crazy stuff, especially considering this wasn’t on the radar at all for gametime when I was looking over data for my “Weather Impact Betting,” all of this was supposed to happen before the fact. But Mother Nature is going to do whatever she wants.
And speaking of my “Weather Impact Betting,” which was centered around the Kansas-UCF game and the impacts on it from the National Hurricane Center’s former area of interest, my first edition was a sweeping success.
Cash the first edition of my “Weather Impact Betting.” ✅
Jackson and Thomas hit the under courtesy of the NHC’s former AOI. Hope you tailed, great value in Kansas-UCF.
I’ll see about tomorrow’s NFL slate to see what we’re cooking with weather wise. On paper, no value there. https://t.co/XejpGNrZJB pic.twitter.com/aO13nzXBgK
