Heat Wave at Texas State Game | San Antonio News

0:00Alright, so this Saturday, the UTSA roadrunners are heading down to San Marcos to face off against the Texas State Bobcats. It's a big rivalry game, but the real opponent might just be the weather. We're talking upper 90s temperatures expected a kickoff with the heat index pushing over 100 degrees, so it's going to be a scorcher out there. To help folks stay cool, Texas State is letting everyone bring one unopened bottle of water into the stadium. They're also bringing in about 35,000 bottles of their own, plus these big water monster tanks set up all over the place for refills. Think of them as giant water coolers for the masses. On top of that, they're putting 10 cooling stations around the concourse, and you can bet there will be extra medical staff ready just in case. They're opening the gates an hour early at 1 p.m., and they really want people to get in before the peak heat hits, rather than waiting in long. The next line is outside. They're also suggesting everyone download their tickets to their phones beforehand.

1:00This is supposed to help speed up getting through the gates, which, when it's this hot, is definitely a good move. Anything to avoid standing around in the sun longer than you have to. So, if you're planning on heading out to the game, definitely take precautions. Stay hydrated, find some shade when you can, and listen to the advice from the officials. It's all about enjoying the game safely, even when Mother Nature is throwing some serious heat. This has been San Antonio News Today, powered by AI.
