We had all been keeping an eye on the weather during the last few days and while it may have been fine in town, our issue was simply getting to Aberdeen from Sioux Falls.
Several members of our crew were working a high school game in Madison last night and drove afterwards to stay overnight in Watertown to try and get ahead of some of the unpredictability. However, this morning, between Watertown and Summit on I-29, our camera crews and video production van (which we use to make sure our signal gets out to our audience and is extremely heavy) had several close calls with either blowing snow, wind or ice. Our GM, executive producer and engineers determined it was simply not safe to try and make it the rest of the way and cancelled our broadcast.
Believe me, I'd much rather be in Aberdeen right now. Like every game week, I've spent the last several days preparing for this matchup whether it's filling out lineups, charting stats, talking to players and coaches, etc. It's not a good feeling knowing that my preparation this week basically went to waste; in fact, it's incredibly frustrating. But in this situation, safety is our top priority. So not only do I understand the decision, I agree with it wholeheartedly.
I'm mainly writing this just to explain all sides of this equation and how this decision was made. Any other questions, feel free to ask, but I can say with 100% certainty we at Midco Sports Network made every effort to broadcast today's game. Thanks.
