A cloud burst of sustained heavy rains around 2pm on Thursday, June 18th, made Fannon Field look like Fannon Pool as water washed onto the field. The unusual sight was a first in the nearly six year history of the field, but the waters drained into the sub surface drainage system shortly after the picture (left) was recorded. The volume of rain caused back pressure on the drains as well and two large bubbles, the size of a pitcher’s mound, developed suddenly at mid-field and near the east end lacrosse goal. Just as quickly as they formed, they gently receded without damage to the half million dollar carpet. Football players began arriving an hour later with no evidence of the unusual occurance.
