Ball State is taking on Toledo at the Glass Bowl in Ohio, and the weather conditions are currently less than ideal. In the second quarter of Wednesday night’s game, a horrendous fog rolled into Toledo’s stadium, making visibility pretty poor.
There’s so much fog on the field at Ball State-Toledo, it’s hard to see anything
Football weather, right?
It’s not just bad in the stands -- the fog is affecting the entire stadium, including the players on the field. I mean, look at this stuff.
ESPN2’s announcers for the Wednesday night #MACtion game, Desmond Howard and Dave Lamont, along with sideline reporter Quint Kessenich, mentioned in the broadcast that visibility is (somehow) ok at a close distance, and it’s only really bad when looking across the field. The fog has also brought in some chilly temperatures in the mid-40s, and I can’t even imagine how miserable it must be to play football in those conditions.
This sort of thing actually happened in a Mid-American game before. In a 2006 matchup between Toledo and Northern Illinois, a heavy fog rolled in just as intense as this one.
Toledo led Ball State 20-10 at halftime, with the Rockets’ offense putting up a 14-point first quarter, followed by an early field goal in the second. Ball State was able to counter with a touchdown and field goal of its own, but a late Toledo field goal extended the Rockets’ edge to 10 points as both teams entered the locker rooms.
