I live in the area it has rained sunday night, Monday, tuesday, today into tomorrow. 7 inches of rain has already fallen with more coming from lee stalled out over central pa. The ground was already saturated with heavy rain from Irene. I already rexpected a smash mouth type game. Just a heads no way it is even somewhat dry saturday.

I know that I'm comparing the nfl to college but last year i went to the monday night game in new york when the jets played minnesota..it was a terrential downpour for at least 40 minutes of the game and both teams were slinging the ball all over the field..i think windy conditions make it more difficult than rain..
just my 2 cents..thanks for the infor book..
The tarps run off straight into drains on either sideline. The irregation system there is second to none, so it really should have no impact at all unless it actually rains during the game. I've been to games where it's rained for 24 hours straight up until they take the tarp off, and the field is as dry as a bone when that thing comes off. As far as the fans, this will have a big impact as >50% of the parking will most likely be unusable.
If you're in Lewisburg, you'll be fine to get from there to State College (Lewisburg is the sticks, but it's home to NCAA "bracket buster" Bucknell University) . It's getting from wherever you're coming from to there that will be your issue. If you need traffic tips, shoot me an e-mail (I pm'd you my new e-mail address), or you can check the PSU Scout or Rivals boards (I've learned about some PA backroads that I never knew existed, never seen so many people talking traffic and directions two days before a big game). Good luck getting out there, it's certainly an unusual weekend.
The scholar that you are, I was expecting an Edgar Allan Poe reference.
I wish I could write as mysterious as a nittany lion.
So awesome. I love you sir
I liked u before for winning me money last yr in college, but now that ur a Wire fan u moved up 10 levels. Best show ever made, hands down. I would give a kidney for that show to return for 1 more season. Such a shame it had to end.
You might want to go back and take another look. Last time I was in Pittsburgh the last thing that came to my mind was "everything is fine here"
FACT....Lewisburg isn't in the sticks Tommy. It is on the border of the Susquehanna river. It was a once in a lifetime flood thursday. It is underwater. It is worse in most spots than 1972. I hope Horn didn't listen to your advise.
Field conditions should not be an issue to start the game.
Although some of the larger RVs from Alabama were getting stuck in the parking lot LOL
