Reply #4: I was at a game once when it happened.

CU-CSU, at the 2003 Rocky Mountain Showdown in Denver. A HUGE thunderstorm rolled in from the west and the rain started pouring down. The most memorable moment was Joel Klatt throwing something like a 70-yard touchdown pass right before they delayed the game. The receiver caught the ball and the stadium lit up blue as lightning struck nearby, and as he entered the end zone, thunder rolled louder than anything I've ever heard before. The only thing that drowned the thunder out was the cheering of the CU fans.

They delayed that game for half an hour because of the rain. Me and one of my best friends were already soaked, so we stayed out in the stands, in the upper deck at Mile high, getting soaked, laughing and singing and dancing. Great game.
