WrestleMania 37 Night One is still a few hours away, but fans that have already entered Raymond James Stadium in Tampa are dealing with a severe thunderstorm. A video from Twitter user @stellar_jl319 on Saturday afternoon shows storm clouds rolling over the stadium as a voice on the intercom instructs fans to seek shelter due to lightning.

Also I’m in a complete standstill trying to get into media parking three hours before event time so that doesn’t feel promising.
Welp. This explains that. Staff are taking shelter as this storm rolls through so lots are closed. I’m not exaggerating when I say cars are just in park in the middle of the road. #WrestleMania #WWE https://t.co/bBkwqXqd4U
Update, some good news: “Lightning threat has passed, all parking and gates are back OPEN! Fans may return to their seats”. - RJStadium. #WrestleMania
