Lightning Near West Virginia's Stadium Captured in Photo as Game vs. Kansas Delayed

Milan Puskar Stadium has not been blessed with great weather during the 2024 collegiate football season.

The West Virginia-Kansas Game was suspended with just under 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter due to a lightning strike in close proximity to the stadium.

The fans at the game were advised to seek shelter in the concourse, restrooms and even their vehicles or the Mountaineer's nearby practice facility.

This is not the first time West Virginia has dealt with a weather issue during the 2024 season as the opener against Penn State featured a two-hour lightning delay. West Virginia would lose that matchup 34-12.

The initial lightning was eventually joined by significant rainfall, with an end to the delay not appearing close.

Kansas led West Virginia 21-17 when the delay began. Both teams entered with 1-2 records and are looking to start conference play on a high note.
