Rain delay at the Holt

This should put some urgency to status of facilities, either repairing or upgrading. Regardless of money, this will force the issue. Or will it?
 
I wanted to take a moment tonight and thank all of the fans who braved the weather for what turned out to be a suspended game. I want to clarify a couple of things Brad and I said tonight during the broadcast. We attributed the leaking onto the playing floor tonight to leaks in the old roof at Holt Arena, but we were incorrect. After the game we got the full explanation from Holt Arena Director George Casper. There are no leaks in the roof. Having said that, Holt Arena is constructed with a square piece of roofing at the very center top. That piece has louvered air venting in it installed so any moisture runs off and down the side of the roof, But there was a period tonight when the wind was blowing snow so hard horizontally that it went directly into the vents on the south side of that square. Once the snow blew into those vents the battle was over and all they can do is wait for it to melt. Workers went to the top and tried to stop the dripping, but it was a losing battle. Casper said this has happened only once before during the history of the Dome. The roof does not leak. No official word yet, but my guess is the game will likely be rescheduled during the last week of January, when ISU is scheduled to play at Weber State.

GO BENGALS!
