This amazing footage was taken while the West Virginia/Marshall college football game was in a rain delay. There was one man who was reportedly struck by lighting.

ESPN reporter Quint Kessenich reported that the fan was “lying there…not with his full faculties.” Now, I’m pretty good at reading between the lines AND I’ve also experienced the environment at a WVU football game. It sounds like this fan was completely passed out wasted in the stands from having too good of a time tailgating.
