Why do you think a bldg. is considered lightning protection for its occupants? Only because it contains conductive & grounded pipes & wires in the walls. The roof over it does nothing. Strip away everything but the pipes, downspouts, etc. and what would you see? A bunch of conductive masts surrounding the occupants. So what makes you think those same conductive masts would not provide the same protection outdoors?

Oh, you mean if they enclosed the road - sort of like a domed stadium? Well, unfortunately, the road wasn't enclosed and neither was your football field. I say we all take your advice and tell the players and anyone else in attendance to seek shelter
inside of a safe building.
