MOBILE, Ala. — The North squad left the team hotel Thursday morning for practice at Ladd Peebles Stadium as scheduled, but didn’t stay very long.
As expected, the weather has turned ugly, and about 20 minutes after warm-ups began, Vikings coach Leslie Frazier‘s staff and the North squad were on the team bus and headed for the Mobile Convention Center.
The thunderstorms and heavy rains that slammed Louisiana on Wednesday have made their way to Alabama and are expected to push into the Florida panhandle. The storms aren’t supposed to clear until late afternoon or early evening.
This means the North and South will have to adjust their training regimens on this fourth day of Senior Bowl week. The North is already using the convention center to complete its practice session; the South will have to do the same this afternoon.
