At Chisenhall Fields, a lightning detection system is in place to ensure safety during storms. Detectors at the concession stands will sound a horn and flash a yellow light when lightning is detected within a seven-mile radius. 

 Here's what you need to know about the policy: 

  • When the horn sounds, all games must stop immediately. 
  • Everyone must leave the playing fields and dugouts and seek shelter. 
  • The system sets a 15-minute timer after a lightning strike. If another strike occurs within that time, the timer resets. 
  • Once 15 minutes have passed without a lightning strike, the horn will sound again to signaling the "All Clear," and games can resume. 
  • It's recommended that everyone take shelter under the concession stand coverings rather than in their cars, as these vehicles may not provide adequate protection during a severe storm. 
  • Ultimately, the decision to resume play will be made by BYA and/or city staff after they have determined that the fields are safe.

BYA thanks you for understanding our inclement weather policy to try and keep everyone safe.
