Football Games Delayed Due to Weather and Heat

Due to severe weather and high temperatures affecting various regions, multiple football games have adjusted their kickoff times. In Minneapolis, the Minnesota Gophers vs. North Carolina Tar Heels game has been delayed by one hour to 8 p.m. due to storms, with a severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 9:30 p.m. In Cincinnati, several high school games have also been pushed back to 8 p.m. or later as temperatures are expected to reach a heat index near 100. Similarly, in Johnstown, Bishop McCort Catholic High School moved their game against Bishop Guilfoyle to 8 p.m. to ease traffic congestion from a nearby political rally. Additionally, the Lakers' game has been rescheduled to start at 7 p.m. instead of 6:30 due to the heat. These adjustments reflect the ongoing concerns over safety and comfort for players and spectators alike.
