hi,
is the game scheduled to start on time with the current conditions?
thanks
As far as I know. The game is also being played at Dome, so a lot would probably have to happen to get the times changed.
thanks, since it is my first time there, I was not sure if the rain was going to play havoc, but I guess they will close the roof.
