Hail and lightning overpower Wyoming’s football stadium in a striking event

Weather Surprises at Wyoming Soccer Game

As someone who enjoys both weather and soccer, witnessing the recent game was truly remarkable.

Prior to their match against UNLV on Saturday, Wyoming faced an onslaught of storms.

It almost looked like a scene from a winter fairy tale in Laramie; the accumulation of snow made it seem as if the field had been completely blanketed. Both teams had to tackle these challenging conditions during gameplay.

Watching the games unfold on TV, along with the images of the stadium, added an unusual twist to what would typically be just another college soccer day. And it wasn’t only about the snow.

Videos circulating on social media captured lightning streaking amidst what some referred to as an “October Christmas.”
