Flag Man Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 The sold-out (8000 plus) ST game today against the BoSox is forecast to be rain soaked. Also annoying, the weather could affect the scheduled "B" squad game against the Cards at 10:00 a.m. The BoSox game was sold out weeks ago. The right field grassy berm corner will go up for sale at 9:00 a.m. Roger Dean folks expect a sell-out in 15 minutes. Maybe we'll get a weather miracle. Hope so for all those good fans. And for the Marlins who NEED playing time. And Roxy, who still needs time to loosen up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I don't know how it looks up there, but it looks pretty nasty around my neck of the woods... No rain yet, but it looks like the rain is coming soon. Rain just doesn't belong in Spring Training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickGold Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 XM is broadcasting from Roger Dean Stadium and they say it's pretty bleak over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flag Man Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 10:15 a.m. Jupiter game time called 63 degrees and rain. What a bummer. But, Florida weather is flukey. Maybe God will give us a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 30 minutes to game time... and it's pouring with no signs of it stopping anytime soon. I think this game is going to get cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flag Man Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Game cancelled. Nine Grapefruit League games cancelled today. It's not fair! 10:00 a.m. "B" game vs. Cards also cancelled. Valdez debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there that many Boston transplants down in Florida? :mischief2 706290[/snapback] This is by far the most popular ST game every year. Of course this year ticket sales were more frantic. It's amazing how many Red Sox fans live in South Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaFish Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 This is by far the most popular ST game every year. Of course this year ticket sales were more frantic. It's amazing how many Red Sox fans live in South Florida. 706817[/snapback] The majority of the tickets sold for this game are from retirees that live in New England and are down here for the winter. I've been in line for ticket sales at Roger Dean Stadium before (when ST tickets first go on sale and there is a stadium open house) and the majority of old people in line are New Englanders buying tickets to this game.
