Weber State at Arizona kicks off over 2 hours late due to lighting delay

Weber State at Arizona did not kick off until 9:10 PM Mountain Standard Time on Saturday night after over a two-hour lightning delay. The game was originally scheduled to kick off at 7:00 PM MST. The lighting delay was the first for Arizona since the 2009 season opener versus Central Michigan.

Arizona fans had to evacuate the seating areas when lightning was spotted within 10 miles of Arizona stadium about an hour before the original scheduled kickoff. Some fans went in the concourse, with others returning to their cars. Arizona waived the policy of not allowing fans to leave the stadium and return to their seats.
