Don't Worry Cheer Fans, Your New Stadium Is Safe!
Floridians braced themselves for Hurricane Irma. But don't worry cheer fans, your new stadium at ESPN Wide World of Sports has been spared.
Mother Nature has been in a frenzy lately as two Atlantic Category 4 hurricanes have hit the United States for the first time in not just the same year, but in the same month according to The Weather Channel.
As Texans have begun the rebuilding stage from Hurricane Harvey, less than two weeks later Floridians braced themselves for the worst as Hurricane Irma made landfall.
