Boy, did it ever and just got heavier and heavier and colder and colder until maybe the 4th quarter when the rain let up, but the wind picked up to make is seem even colder! 
We've had two LOUSY weather days so far!  Fortunately it resulted in 2 wins.  Boy would these have be AWFUL if you lost!

Cheer up fans!  Forecast for this Saturday is sunshine and 75 degrees.  Oh wait!

Yeah, and I'll bet it will be even nicer the following week, followed by wet snow on 10/10!

Welcome to The Ice Castle, right?
We've all been there - done that so we should be prepared.
Sometimes I question the "no  bonfires in the stadium" rule.

[go guins]

Funny, but I'm fine with the Ice Castle, it's the Monsoon Castle I hate.  If your fingers get cold you can always warm them up, but once wet, you stay that way until home and I always seem to get wet regardless!

or you can dry things out over a bonfire 
...would have worked great the last two games when the people around me
with their umbrellas kept the rain pouring in my lap or down my back.  It was nice of them to
announce last Saturday that umbrellas were not allowed in Stambaugh Stadium.  It was a good
laugh for the people behind me that announced to everyone that the ushers leave at half time
and they were Penguin Club members so they could use umbrella's.

Well that is my rant for the night.  Fortunately there were a few empty seats elsewhere that we could move to.

GO GUINS!

They should allow umbrellas for the 200 fans that attend games when it rains.

How about paying for an umbrella sticker?

Sorry but no they should not, keep it simple, they are not allowed for a good reason,  it was a mistake last week to allow them. I know they are not allowed and I bring ponchos, they keep me dry no matter if there are 2 fans or 20,000 fans.

No umbrellas & it needs to be announced and enforced. Sorry to be rude, but it blocks too many people from seeing. I like watching the interactions on the sidelines & the umbrellas block all of that. Then if the offenders are sitting close, they block everything.

You are 100% correct.  Not to mention the risk to eye damage when some joker in front of you turns to his neighbour while holding a series of pointed sticks aimed at your eyes! 
This isn't a YSU rule.  I makes sense in every stadium in the country!
