Wake Forest has initiated its heat plan for tonight’s season-opening football game at BB&T Field vs. Liberty.
The heat plan is activated when the heat index is projected at 90 or higher for a home football game.
Under the heat plan, several changes will affect fans attending the game.

1. Fans may take one unopened bottle of water to BB&T Field. The water bottle must be sealed.
2. Wake Forest will have at least 25,000 bottles of water available at the stadium.
3. BB&T Field will have five misting tents available for fans. The misting tents will be located at Gate 2, at Section 10, near the scoreboard, behind Section 14 and behind Section 19.
4. Forsyth Emergency Medical Services will have enhanced coverage and a Cool Zone fan outside its treatment center.
5. The BB&T Field event staff and guest information booths will have chemical cool packs on hand for fans who need them.
6. Wake Forest will have an additional 1,000 pounds of ice available for emergency situations.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I still see upper 90's as a possibility, and the humidity will be awful.

Standard NCAA protocol. UVa has activated its head plan for today as well.

Weather Underground predicts 85 at gametime, 30 percent chance of thunderstorms:

85 & humid? That sounds like November weather where I live. Barring significant rainfall, the weather shouldn't impact the outcome.

What a bunch of whiners

The thunderstorms got to Wake quicker than it was supposed to.

Hey, I guess it saw that before I did.

obligatory corny "heat plan"/ fan the flames joke goes here.

according to my son after the game they must not have notified the custodial staff in the visitors locker room...apparently it was hotter in there than on the field...

Go Flames!!!
