An outdoor show at Buffalo New York's Coca-Cola Field was cancelled due to threatening weather conditions on June 1st, 2012. The event, featuring country music performer Eric Church, was delayed twice as the stage roof was lowered due to strong wind gusts, and after some of the stabilizing guy wires snapped, it was decided that it was too risky to continue with the show.
Other factors cited were increasing rain and lightning strikes in the area. The cancellation set-off a few unruly responses from the crowd and some folding chairs were tossed onto the stage.
This is a great step forward in that the event organizers recognized that it would be better to postpone the event until a future date rather than risk injuries to performers, crew, or the audience. The ticket holders will be given the opportunity to come back in a few weeks to see the show once it is rescheduled.
