What they're saying: The threat wasn't rain, but lightning, which was "forecasted in the area through 9pm," a spokesperson for venue operator Live Nation told Axios in a statement.
"We could not have gotten fans back into the venue to enjoy a show before the curfew," the statement said.
The intrigue: Many fans wondered if the real problem was the venue flooding, not a storm threat.
Instagram posts from DMB saxophonist Jeff Coffin showed puddles of water among the floor seats — but not major flooding.
