MetLife Stadium cleared its field and stands less than two hours before the Giants‑Commanders kickoff on Thursday because of severe weather in the area. Players and coaches who had begun warmups were ordered back into the locker room, and fans who were braving heavy rain in ponchos were directed into the concourse area. A stadium announcement urged everyone to leave the seating bowl for safety, citing heavy rain and the possibility of lightning. The heavy rain was expected to continue for at least the next hour, with forecasts of lightning in East Rutherford. The game remained scheduled for an 8:15 p.m. kickoff, with the stadium prepared to shelter attendees inside.
