EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Fans were cleared from the stands at the New Meadowlands Stadium 10 minutes before the scheduled start of the Minnesota Vikings-New York Jets game Monday night because of lightning and heavy rain.
The inclement weather had already delayed the scheduled 8:30 p.m. start by 20 minutes, and further delays were possible.
An announcement blared over the public address system telling fans to clear the stands, and the four video boards displayed a message that read: Due to lightning, please head to concourses until further notice.
Players from both teams who were warming up on the field headed to their locker rooms.
