Several fans in the parking lot at Raymond James Stadium following the Buccaneers-Packers game have been struck by lightning and taken to area hospitals, according to multiple reports.
The storm rolled in just as the game ended, and clearly many fans were caught without shelter:
Electrical storms and large crowds are always a potent, threatening mix. Two years ago, one fan was killed and nine more were injured when lightning struck the crowd just after a NASCAR race in Pocono, Pennsylvania.
Yahoo Sports is investigating the story and will update when more details are available.
