Western Michigan University's football stadium is now a swimming pool
Rainy days are all fun and games until a football stadium looks like it should be hosting a sailboat race.
Buckets of rain overnight in Kalamazoo, Michigan, turned Western Michigan University's Waldo Stadium into a muddy lake by Thursday morning.
The floodwaters overwhelmed the campus drainage system and water began to fill the football stadium, nearby baseball stadium and surrounding parking lots. To protect nearby buildings from damage, the football's field pumps were shut off Thursday morning -- hence, the stadium pool -- said WMU spokeswoman Paula Davis.
A university staffer posted pictures of the flooded gridiron to Facebook, adding, "Waldo stadium can start holding rowing competitions."
