Maybe the schools should have a light detector that detects the amount of available light on the field.

If heavy clouds are moving over, but will vacate the vicinity, the game is only suspended. If the light level gets to low due to sunset then you have a different situation.

Drop Dead rules are often like Zero Tolerance laws. They are good on paper, but don't stand up well in the real world.

I already have this detector. They are called eyes.
