NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware football squad's First State Cup matchup with Delaware State was postponed due to heavy rains and lightning Saturday night but the game will still be played as the teams will square off Sunday at 12 noon at Delaware Stadium.
“The safety and welfare of our fans and student-athletes is paramount, which led to our decision to postpone this game,” said UD Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Eric Ziady. “Original reports as late as 5 p.m. indicated that there would be a 3-4 hour gap between storm cells. But as time went on that gap rapidly closed. We hope everyone can join us again Sunday for what should be a great day of college football.”
Parking lots and stadium gates will open at 10 a.m. on Sunday and all lots and tailgating will operate as normal. Parking in single game lots will be complimentary.
