TORONTO — The start of Saturday night's CFL game between the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats at BMO Field was delayed due to lightning and heavy rain, the league announced.
Officials halted the pre-game warmups as thunderstorms moved through the area. Fans were asked to take shelter in concourses and other covered areas until the weather cleared.
As of 8:15 p.m. ET, no new start time had been announced. The CFL said the game would begin once conditions were deemed safe for players and spectators.
Both teams had completed their warmups when the storm hit. The delay is the latest weather-related disruption in the CFL this season, following similar incidents at other stadiums.
