A nationwide ground stop ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday afternoon disrupted thousands of flights across the country, leaving the University of Tennessee football team stranded in Knoxville ahead of Saturday’s Southeastern Conference matchup against Texas A&M. The Volunteers were aboard their aircraft on the tarmac in Knoxville Friday afternoon, unable to depart for College Station, Texas, because of the nationwide suspension of departures, according to KBTX-TV in Bryan, Texas. The unexpected delay raised concerns about the team’s travel arrangements ahead of Saturday’s game against the Aggies. The FAA issued the nationwide ground stop at approximately 3:54 p.m. Eastern after a communications failure affected air traffic control facilities across the United States.

Preview: UND set to play in Anderson Arena for the first time

ST. PAUL, Minn. — UND arrived at Lee and Penny Anderson Arena for the first time Thursday afternoon. They moved their gear in and took a few looks around. They'll play in the one-year-old building at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday during UND's National Collegiate Hockey Conference series against St. Thomas. UND played St. Thomas in a single road nonconference game last season at Grand Casino Arena, home of the Minnesota Wild. Anderson Arena opened 12 days later. Senior forward Kasper Magnussen is the only player on UND's roster who has played in Lee and Penny Anderson Arena. Magnussen made the trip last season while playing at Bemidji State. "It's a fresh, nice rink," Magnussen said. Magnussen said the biggest drawback is a small visiting dressing room. "Overall, I like it," he said. The venue seats 4,000 fans for hockey. It also serves as home for St. Thomas basketball. Anderson Arena is located just off of Cretin Ave., in St. Paul.
