Saturday Doubleheader Slated To Begin at 10 AM; Sunday's Contest Cancelled Due To Weather
March 6, 2014
HOUSTON - In anticipation of inclement weather in the Houston area this weekend, changes have been made to the Rice baseball team's home Conference USA schedule vs. Old Dominion University on March 8-9 (Sat.-Sun.).
Rice and Old Dominion have now scheduled a Saturday double-header to begin at 10 am (Central Time). The new double-header eliminates the game that was originally scheduled for Sunday (March 9), where forecasts call for rain throughout the day. Tickets for either Saturday or Sunday will be honored all day Saturday. There is no change for Friday's series-opener where first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 pm at Reckling Park.
With the schedule change, fans should take note of some other related changes around the weekend games:
Saturday Gates Open: 9 am,
Tickets: Tickets for either Saturday & Sunday will be honored all day Saturday,
Saturday First Pitch time: 10 am,
`Roost' Opens: 11 am,
Fans may remain in Reckling Park between games (no clearing of the stadium),
C-USA league games are 9 innings,
Duration between games is 30 minutes.

It's not "my" event, it's REA's. I'm pretty sure it will go on, with an adjustment. Stay tuned for details.

Update: party on as scheduled!

The official word from the REA website is:

Quote:Note: the baseball game will be a doubleheader, with the first game at 10:00 a.m. and the second game approximately 30 minutes after the first. The Tailgate will run from roughly 12:00 noon until shortly after the start of the second game. (Updated 3/06/2014)

So instead of a pre-game party, it's a party from the late innings of Game 1 to the early innings of Game 2.

Go Owls!
