During the broadcast, viewers may have experienced significant fluctuations in stream quality and connectivity. These issues were in part related to severe thunderstorms and extreme weather conditions currently impacting the Beaumont, Texas area. These localized weather patterns caused unexpected disruptions to the stadium’s broadcasting hardware.
