Apparently, the billions of dollars spent on the new domed SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles doesn’t prevent games to be delayed due to bad weather.
On Monday Night, the Raiders-Chargers game was delayed due to a thunder/lightning storm taking place outside the stadium.

Jon Gruden was told about the delay by the ref and he looked confused considering they were playing in a dome stadium.

Fans were also confused by the delay.
How does an indoor stadium have a weather delay?

The Rams and Chargers built a $5 billion indoor stadium that is susceptible to lightning delays.

ESPN is still broadcasting from field level and the fans don’t have to leave but you can’t play the game. https://t.co/OgL6NJYpW9
