The area around the stadium was under a tornado warning about 80 minutes after Green Bay beat the top-seeded Cowboys 34-31 in an NFC divisional playoff game.

Lightning could be seen through windows at the stadium. Any fans still inside the stadium along with reporters and other workers were warned to stay inside and away from exterior windows. Some fans sat in seats even as the big video board warned “Severe Weather. Please Take Shelter.”

Some fans turned to social media to poke fun at Cowboys fans left “wallow in their misery.”
