When the Mount Diablo High School Red Devils were gearing up for their first home game of the season, nobody expected their stadium to become an actual inferno.

In a twist that sounds more like a chaotic teen movie plot, someone decided to turn the school’s brand new $3 million football field into a massive burn zone just days before kickoff. According to local reports, fireworks gone wrong transformed the supposedly flame-retardant turf into a scorched wasteland.

A Night of Destruction

Police are now investigating what seems like a juvenile prank that went catastrophically wrong. Surveillance footage reportedly shows multiple individuals - likely teenagers - lighting fireworks on the field late Saturday night. The result? A raging fire that burned through the entire playing surface and left the team without a home field.

No Home Game, No Problem?

With their pristine stadium now resembling a post-apocalyptic landscape, the Red Devils are scrambling to find an alternative playing field. Diablo Valley College’s football field might become their temporary sanctuary, located just a stone’s throw away from their home turf.

School Principal Dr. Markell McCain described the scene as a total nightmare, with fire and police departments swarming the area to contain the blaze. The incident not only disrupts the team’s season but also represents a significant financial loss for the school district.
