Beloit has cancelled opening night...

I just recieved this email...

 

Due to frigid weather conditions the Beloit Snappers have canceled their game

tonight against the Cedar Rapids Kernels. Player safety and fan comfort came

into play as the Snappers announced the cancellation of their home opener.

Tonight's game will be made up as part of a double-header during the June 11th ?

June 14th series (game date to be determined).

 

All tickets purchased to tonight's home opener will be good for any other

Snappers regular season home game during the 2007 season. Tickets can be

exchanged in advance at the Snappers Front Office.

 

Due to the frigid wind chill and temperature tomorrow's game, April 6th, has

been moved from 6:30 pm to 4:00 pm. Saturday's game time will remain at 2:00

pm.

 

Season Tickets, Group Discounts, and Picnic Packages are still available.

Contact a Snappers' representative at 608-362-2272, www.snappersbaseball.com, or

stop by Pohlman Field at 2301 Skyline Dr. in Beloit for more information.

 

Only 44 more days until former Chicago Cub and new Peoria Chiefs' manager, Ryne

Sandberg, makes his first appearance in Beloit! Sandberg and his Chiefs will

take on the Snappers on May 19-20 and again June 21-24. Get your tickets now!

 

Don't forget, Snappy has two tickets on him at all times when he is outside of

Pohlman Field. Be the first to spot Snappy in public and shout

"Snapper-tastic." He will then be forced to give you two tickets to a Snappers

home game. Make sure you are the first to spot him because he is only able to

carry two tickets on him at a time.

Highs are supposed to remain in the low to mid 40s through the middle of the month. They should just play it or cancel the entire first two weeks.

I agree with RyDogg, it's not like the weather is going to get any better. I was at an opening game for the Snappers a few years ago of which the weather couldn't have been that much better than today's. Bump up the time so at least you're playing during the day, althoug postponing the games to June never seems like a bad idea (until the teams have to play a double-header).

 

This comment from the press release is worded a little funny:

 

Don't forget, Snappy has two tickets on him at all times when he is outside of Pohlman Field...

 

...Make sure you are the first to spot him because he is only able to carry two tickets on him at a time.

 

I know what they are trying to say, but still, it sounds funny.
