Scary Weather Forces ESPN MNF Crew To Do Pre-Game Show Inside Stadium Before Bills-Jets Game

The weather at Met Life stadium on Monday afternoon wasn’t pretty, and ESPN had to make some adjustments.

Hours before Monday night’s game between the Bills and the Jets, a severe weather warning was put in place, and people inside the stadium were told to “shelter in place.”

Due to the shelter-in-place warning, ESPN’s Monday Night Football crew were forced to do their pre-game show inside the stadium instead of on the field.

Of course, despite warnings from stadium officials, New Yorkers still tailgated through the severe weather warning.
