This rule is idiotic and really ruining the game in the southeast. There is lightning within 8 miles all the time. How many deaths from lightning have happened in stadiums ever? Far less than the deaths on the field and in the stands from heat and trauma. You are putting 80k fans at increased risk (there is nowhere for them to shelter effectively) to protect 200 players from a 1 in 1 billion risk of temporary cardiac arrest from a lightning strike.

No, it’s not. I’ve been around a flightline that a dude was killed by a storm 10 miles away.

The truth is most people hit by lightning survive if emergency medical care is on hand. How many EMTs and defibrilators are on hand at field level at a Clemson home game? I bet it is a lot. The actuarial math on it just does not work in any way. You are more likely to die of a strike in the parking lot trying to flee the storm walking back to your car than sitting in the stands with giant well-grounded metal poles sticking up 300 feet taking the strike to ground. Its just more sissification of the culture.

You are not getting it, the delay causes more risk than just playing through. It is just the risks caused by the delay do not impart liability onto Clemson. This is all about getting sued and zero about keeping people safe. Moving a half drunk crowd around in difficult conditions and having them climb up and down a few hundred steps is going to cause more deaths than the lightning. The delay will cause a lot of fans to go back to their tailgates, which exposes them to higher lighting risk than sitting in the stands. If you get struck at your tailgate, you can't sue Clemson though. Welcome to litigation-driven "safety."

OK. You are very wise and your wonderful logic makes perfectly good sense now - if one is an absolute moron. I can only hope that you are drinking during this rain delay and that you are generally at least minimally sane.

Even if someone survives a lightning strike, they're still going to be injured and likely hospitalized. Why risk it?
I'm glad there are more intelligent people in charge of stuff like this instead of internet "experts" like yourself.

When has a person in the stands or a team on the field been hit by lighting? Seems like being controlled by fear and potential liability when the odds are tiny.

I am not going to google that but one would think a stadium full of aluminum seats elevated above ground level with 80,000 human bodies only inches apart might be supremely susceptible to a lightning strike that could not only strike but also pass from person to person based on elemental physics but if you think lightning never strikes anywhere or kills anyone then maybe you have a point. In case you are now feeling smart in whatever toothless world you live in -
You do not have a point.
