Summary
A World Cup tune-up match between England and Costa Rica was delayed by 60 minutes due to extreme weather in Orlando, Florida. International soccer fans were surprised that the match was not canceled due to the heavy rain. However, the stadium’s drainage system was able to handle the rain, and the match was played after a one-hour delay.

The routine arrives with confidence.
Florida’s rainy season is nothing new, but it’s still impressive to see a stadium’s drainage system in action. A 37,000-gallon water vault under the grass can drain up to five inches of rain per hour. The field was flooded, but the standing water was practically nonexistent after 40 minutes. The grounds crew even turned on the sprinklers after the rain stopped. It’s just another Wednesday in Florida.
Because who needs a roof when you have a good drainage system?
