Lightning delays MNF kickofff between Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers

Only in Los Angeles kids. Only in LA.

The kickoff for Monday night’s NFL matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium has been delayed until 8:55 p.m. ET.

The reason? Lightning in LA.

SoFi is a covered stadium. However, ESPN’s Suzy Kolber explained parts of the upper deck are exposed and that presented a danger to the fans in those seats.

The game features an AFC West matchup between the 3-0 Raiders and 2-1 Chargers.

Weather permitting, there will be football.
