UTSA and Texas State fans face extreme heat during San Marcos game

The Texas State Bobcats hosted the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday, September 12, for a rivalry game in San Marcos. This match marked the home debut for the Bobcats within the Pac-12 conference. Fans dealt with hazardous weather conditions, as the National Weather Service recorded temperatures reaching 101 degrees with a heat index of 107. Many spectators remained in the stadium concourse to seek shade, resulting in noticeably empty seating sections throughout the venue. Social media commentary highlighted frustrations regarding the afternoon kickoff time during peak heat, with some calling for future September games to be scheduled during the evening. Texas State previously played in similarly difficult heat during a road game against the Texas Longhorns one week prior.
