Why was Baylor football's spring game canceled? Exploring potential reasons behind Bears' decision

The Baylor football spring game for the Central Texas area on Saturday has been canceled because of the threat of inclement weather. There are high chances of seven thunderstorms hitting the area.

That is why Baylor's Green & Gold Game at McLane Stadium was canceled to avoid any inconvenience.

When will the Baylor football spring game take place?

Baylor's final spring practice of the season will now take place on Saturday at the Allison Indoor Practice Facility. Due to limited space and the ongoing construction of the Fudge Football Development Center and the Allison Facility, the event will not be open to the public.

Baylor becomes the second Big 12 team to cancel its spring game this weekend, following Texas Tech's announcement on Thursday afternoon. Texas Tech cited National Weather Service forecasts, which predict more than an 80% chance of rain in the Midland area.

Moreover, there is a potential for lightning on Saturday morning, extending into the late afternoon. The likelihood will increase to 90% for the scheduled 1:00 pm kickoff.
