Surprising hail storm forces Cardinals to close roof during Bears game
NY Post
Mother nature is known to wreak havoc during the NFL season, but the Cardinals and Bears were in for a surprise on Sunday at State Farm Stadium.
The teams got hailed on during the second quarter of the NFC clash in Glendale, Arizona, which forced the stadium roof to be closed midgame.
The afternoon matchup began with the roof open as the sun had been out, however, a surprise storm rolled through the area, bringing rain and hail that started falling in the middle of the game.
The CBS broadcast made plenty of mention of the weather as the storm clouds opened up and the bizarre situation led to the roof being closed, which the broadcast indicated would take 10 minutes to complete.
“It’s not just rain fellas, we’ve got hail coming down. This is a really odd sensation because of the way of the design,” Evan Washburn said during the broadcast. “It’s really only the field that’s being impacted, but you can see tiny white pellets. That’s hail coming down here in Glendale.”
The process to close the roof finally wrapped up late in the second quarter.
