Well, this is a bummer.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ home opener against the Atlanta Falcons will not be starting on time (originally scheduled for 8:20 PM ET) as there are thunderstorms looming in the area. Big lightning strikes have been spotted in the sky surrounding Lincoln Financial Field.
The Eagles called for a very juiced up crowd to leave their seats and seek shelter on the main concourses right before the rain started to pour down:
Here’s a look at one of the lightning strikes.
The hope is that the storms pass through and the Eagles can start the game at 8:55 PM ET.
