Original Story

Fans first learned that there was a generic “threat” to Spartan Stadium, which Michigan State Athletics later clarified was because of weather conditions. A few minutes later, with 7:58 left in the second quarter, the game was stopped to review a potential Michigan State reception. Instead of announcing the results of the play review, the referee announced the weather delay. Oh, and the Michigan State pass was incomplete.

Fans weren’t sure at first what would happen, but stadium officials clarified a few minutes after the announcement that the stadium had to be evacuated. Many fans attempted to stay in stairwells and under covered sections, but authorities forced everyone to evacuate.

Fans are currently in two buildings near the stadium separated by what section they were sitting in, though there isn’t really much room. Michigan State is broadcasting other football games for wet, evacuated fans to watch while they wait.

Initial reports suggested the delay could be anywhere from one to two hours, but as of publication the scoreboards in Spartan Stadium say the game is officially set to resume at 4 p.m., pending any additional delays, but authorities are now saying the game won’t resume until at least 4:15 p.m.

They’ve just announced that the Penn St-Michigan St game will resume at 4 p.m. Still raining pretty hard here.

Fortunately for the hundreds of thousands of fans watching at home, FOX will continue to air the game after the delay. The Washington State-Stanford game that was supposed to be on FOX after Penn State-Michigan will begin instead on Fox Business.

Even though there are less than eight minutes left in the half, there will still be a halftime. The marching band, however, will not perform. Stadium officials have yet to announce what time fans will be allowed to start re-entering the stadium. For some fair-weather fans, however, the day is over.

Michigan State is no stranger to game delays due to weather — in 2015 its first three games were delayed — but there hasn’t been a delay at Beaver Stadium since at least 2000.

This is believed to be the first lightning delay of a #PennState game since the start of the 2000 Ohio State game was delayed.
