@nhampshire @tengland_150 You are correct Nick. The only reason the tarp was on the field was to preserve the infield surface for the game. As soon as we knew the game wasn’t happening there was no reason to leave the tarp on especially after being on for 24 hours straight since Saturday night.

@tengland_150 I mean, if there is no game, they would take the free rain water, no? Questioning the best field crew....

@nicolegriff_ @Travis_L_Brown I get more than enough underserved attention and camera time! Thought it would be a good experience for one of my students and he did great!

@Travis_L_Brown Either way, you got the point of the conversation, which was that thing was HEAVY! Which is why we got stuck with it. Huge shout out to @AggieBaseball players, managers & staff that came rushing to our aid and helped us finally get the tarp completely on! #savedbytheteam

@Travis_L_Brown In recalculating, my math was probably off just a bit. I was operating on the assumption of between a 1/4-1/2” evenly across the entire tarp which would put it somewhere between 5,000-10,000 lbs. You’ll have to forgive my miscalculation as I was just a little tired! 😂

Talked with @aggiefieldguy after the game and he had done some math. Tarp is approximately half an acre and was completely covered with water thanks to the flash downpour. In that situation, the whole tarp would be approximately 15,000 pounds. 😱

Some issues with the tarp brought the whole Aggie baseball team out of the dugout to help, much to the delight of the crowd:
