The snow storm walluping the Midwest has created some highly unusual scenes in sports venues on Saturday night.

they have everybody sitting on one side of the stadium at the Illinois-Northwestern snow bowl but it’s not the camera side so it just looks totally empty pic.twitter.com/Gk22os8jZr

What a run by Luke Altmyer, making moves in the snow, a gain of 17 which set up the #Illini for their second touchdown of the day — taking a 14-10 lead into halftime. pic.twitter.com/GxvSEdW4BZ

Snow tapered off so the second half poses completely different playing conditions.
As I’m sure y’all can see on TV: Totally different playing surface in the second half. Snow seems to have stopped, so it’s wet and muddy but not totally covered. pic.twitter.com/6jpUpbT0I3

Cleveland Browns Game Will Be Impacted
The snowy conditions will impact the Week 13 game between the Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers. Shedeur Sanders and Brock Purdy will handle the football in rainy, windy, and snowy conditions.
We might have a snow game tomorrow, @Browns ? pic.twitter.com/0EJxVb2RSn
