A crowd of Beyonce fans assembling for the Beyonce concert at FedEx Field last night were asked to take shelter after lightning was reported in the area. Creepy.
Videos were posted to social media of the crowds taking shelter, which seems far more terrifying than any lightning storm coming your way.
Fans who were outside the gates were asked to go back to their cars, all the fans in the stadium were asked to shelter under the covered concourse areas.
The sheltering lasted over 2 hours and the “all-clear” was announced at 8:25 pm.
Apparently the heat was terrible in the hallways that the crowds of tens of thousands of people were jammed in, but there was apparently no noted medical incidents.

Beyonce was still able to perform, so maybe it was worth the wait.
Dear @MagicJohnson @FedExField needs a retractable roof!???????
