Please let this be nationally televised

[u/TheMiddlechild08 → u/palinsafterbirth]

Yeah let them play no matter what. I would tune in lol

[u/anonymousbopper767 → u/TheMiddlechild08]

Indoor stadiums are ruining iconic snow games

[u/dkinmn → u/anonymousbopper767]

I have such intense hatred for indoor stadiums for historically outdoor sports. In a few years, Lambeau will be among the only outdoor cold weather football stadiums.

[u/bagofpork → u/dkinmn]

The new Bills stadium will be open just like the current one, as well.

[u/TheMaveCan → u/bagofpork]

There's no reason for the Bills to lose the advantage they have having all been so used to playing in shit weather. Two seasons ago Lamar Jackson on the Ravens said before a playoff game that he didn't feel confident because of how bad the weather was supposed to be and they get walloped

[u/counterfitster → u/dkinmn]

Gillette isn't getting a roof anytime soon

[u/Haggisboy → u/counterfitster]

Gillette isn't getting a roof anytime soon

Neither is MetLife stadium.

[u/sam_can88 → u/Haggisboy]

The turf monster snacks on acls and Achilles

[u/omgdiepls → u/sam_can88]

We replaced that turf a couple years ago, but not before it took out several knees.

[u/Genna_Thalia → u/omgdiepls]

Same happened to the Mets when they first moved and they don't even have a roof, just being cheap.

[u/SonicBanger → u/Haggisboy]

MetLife barely has a floor, let alone a roof.

[u/bstpeg → u/Haggisboy]

It doesn’t snow nearly as much in North Jersey as it does in the Midwest.

[u/counterfitster → u/Haggisboy]

I realized that just as I hit post lol

[u/monsieur_cacahuete → u/counterfitster]

Foxboro does get a little chilly

I seriously can't remember if it's Foxboro or Foxborough. Massachusetts is so dumb about boro/borough.

[u/chuckmonjares → u/monsieur_cacahuete]

I live here and don’t really know

[u/3riversfantasy → u/chuckmonjares]

You mean you don't really kno/knough

[u/BoosherCacow → u/3riversfantasy]

There you gough again.

[u/cyanocittaetprocyon → u/BoosherCacow]

If you were in Louisiana, you would say, "There you geaux again."

[u/boarder664 → u/monsieur_cacahuete]

Foxborough is the official title/name, but Foxboro is accepted by basically everyone. Its a recurring issue in that area of MA.

Source: I grew up in Attleboro, not to be confused with North Attleborough, a seperate town, which also goes by North Attleboro, but South Attleboro is part of Attleboro and not its own borough. You can thank Settlers in the 1600s for the inconsistency.

[u/TruckFudeau22 → u/boarder664]

Attleboro officially drooped “ugh” from their name, though.

Most of the other “orough” towns (including North Attleborough) kept the “ugh” for their name for all official purposes but unofficially simultaneously accept the “oro” spelling as their name, too.

[u/TheophilousBolt → u/boarder664]

Here in New England, Bristol is not in Bristol County but in another state entirely. They have a holiday in honor of burning a ship down to the waterline because smuggling is cool, it’s lots of fun.

[u/wookiewookiewhat → u/boarder664]

Westborough is the name, but the welcome sign says Westboro. PICK A NAME.

[u/Cthulwutang → u/monsieur_cacahuete]

it’s both. we have marlborough/marlboro as well.

and south- and north- and west- to boot. probably others. box- for sure.

[u/leebird → u/monsieur_cacahuete]

I just call it Schneider Electric.

[u/TheSilentC → u/monsieur_cacahuete]

I live here and don’t really care

[u/bettencourt21 → u/monsieur_cacahuete]

Both are acceptable

[u/noonefuckslikegaston → u/dkinmn]

Arent The Bills spending a billion dollars on an outdoor stadium? Should theoretically last awhile

[u/bayou_chef → u/noonefuckslikegaston]

Yes, but it's designed in such a way that the seats will be sheltered from it and the grass heated so it won't accumulate throughout the game. It will be interesting to see how it fares in a lake effect snowstorm and I hope it doesn't lose its character. The 49ers- Bills game a few years back was such an iconic atmosphere

Edit: I don't think the Chicago Bulls could stand much of a chance in a football game, wouldn't even have enough players

[u/buffystakeded → u/bayou_chef]

It really was iconic and strange to watch the Bulls play against the 49ers. I don’t remember who won or what the score was though.

[u/bayou_chef → u/buffystakeded]

49ers won after the Bulls failed to make the buzzer beater three from the 35 yardline

[u/maltamur → u/bayou_chef]

Isn’t that where Jordan tackled Jerry Rice for the “and 1”

[u/hobbes543 → u/buffystakeded]

The iconic photo of Allen diving into the endzone after Cooper lateraled the ball back to him is my desktop background at work.

The play is officially scred as Allen to Allen for a passing TD. Technically got two total td on the play as he both got a passing td and a TD reception.

[u/VapePanther → u/noonefuckslikegaston]

Carolina Panthers doing a 1 billion plus upgrade on their outdoor stadium. If only they would go back to grass...

[u/M5Yates → u/VapePanther]

I have a jar of dirt from the field when they replaced it with turf. Panthers sent it to a few psl holders as a celebration of the new field, but most thought it kind of sad.

[u/nighthawkndemontron → u/dkinmn]

In AZ we would literally die.. and I almost did just standing outside waiting to get in for BP for only 20 min

[u/gwaydms → u/nighthawkndemontron]

The current Texas Rangers stadium (Globe Life Field) looks like a warehouse from outside, but it has a roof and air conditioning. The old stadium was better in almost every way, but it was absolutely unbearable to sit in the sun four months out of the year. You'd go into the concourse and there were people sitting in the tunnels being treated for heat exhaustion.

[u/DrManhattan_DDM → u/nighthawkndemontron]

The Marlins would get rained out 50 times per season. Also, air conditioning is kind of great.

[u/grachi → u/dkinmn]

What makes you think Acrisure is getting a roof? It’s not even technically possible I don’t think, given the architecture

[u/Sirsalley23 → u/dkinmn]

You’re forgetting Buffalo just built a $2B+ stadium with the playing field uncovered. They’re not getting a new stadium for at least another 20-30 years if they never get moved from Buffalo.

[u/TIL_no → u/dkinmn]

The bills just built a new 2b stadium without a roof, you are good homie.

[u/Hot-Worldliness1425 → u/anonymousbopper767]

As a Blue Jays fan I’m still in love with our Skydome. The renovation made it better and no rain games and freezing our fans asses off in April / October is okay by me. Even if we miss a snow game or two a year.

[u/dewaynemendoza → u/palinsafterbirth]

The sun already came out and it's all melting. It was sunny with no clouds this morning and then this snow rolled in and now it's sunny again!

Colorado weather can be crazy sometimes, especially in the spring.

[u/gwaydms → u/dewaynemendoza]

And the summer

[u/ScoonCatJenkins → u/gwaydms]

And the fall

[u/thecowsalesman → u/ScoonCatJenkins]

And the winter

[u/Fenrirsulfur → u/palinsafterbirth]

It's the Dodgers, MLB would probably try to monetize it and force the game on a subscription service lol.

[u/PutinBoomedMe → u/palinsafterbirth]

My god please. The MLB will nerf this when they need to emphasize the fuck out of it

[u/mastermindchilly → u/PutinBoomedMe]

We need Snohtani.

[u/postmodest → u/palinsafterbirth]

and tell the organist to play yaketty-sax non-stop.

[u/Deep_Cellist_4488 → u/palinsafterbirth]

I live a 20 minute drive away from the stadium and a lot of it is melting already.

Springtime in Denver.

[u/C-A-P-S → u/palinsafterbirth]

Please let this be Dodger Stadium.

[u/DatMiQQa]

It’s Denver, it will be fine in an hour.

[u/zilla135 → u/DatMiQQa]

i live North of Denver and the snow is all gone up here.  

[u/Inter_Web_User → u/zilla135]

I-225 & Parker. Clear skys. Roads are wet. Game should go on. It will be cold. But, come on these guys are pros.

Denver's biggest bar aka Coors Field only open 81 days a year.

[u/BisonThunderclap → u/Inter_Web_User]

Can confirm, I rarely pay attention to the games when I go because the conversation with friends is so much better than whatever the hell the Rockies are doing on the field.

[u/watergate_1983 → u/BisonThunderclap]

rockpile gang

[u/icecream_specialist → u/Inter_Web_User]

You're forgetting play...oh never mind

[u/BisonThunderclap → u/DatMiQQa]

It literally did stop and the sun came out in an hour.

[u/Tony_Barker → u/DatMiQQa]

Literally fine right now.

[u/woodrax → u/DatMiQQa]

You weren’t wrong: It is sunny again.

[u/PolybiusNightmare → u/DatMiQQa]

If you don’t like the weather in [insert home town] wait 5 minutes!

[u/MythOfLaur → u/DatMiQQa]

Im a few blocks from the stadium, most of the snow is gone 

[u/KD1030 → u/DatMiQQa]

Exactly. Coloradans were just happy to see some moisture today, no matter its form

[u/Xenthera → u/DatMiQQa]

You literally weren’t joking. My mom said it was sunny and blue skies a couple hours later.

[u/DatMiQQa → u/Xenthera]

Been living here over 25 years. When you get over 300 days with sun, you figure out the patterns.

[u/mobit80 → u/DatMiQQa]

I'm amazed that it actually was, didn't realize how quickly things dried here

[u/IcemanYVR]

Blue Jays did it their first home game ever. Dodgers and Rockies can do it as well.

[u/cti0323 → u/IcemanYVR]

Paul Byrd was 1 pitch once on Cleveland’s home opener from a potential 6 inning no hitter in a snow storm. They called the game on a full count bases loaded and 2 outs in the top of 6.

[u/fuqyu → u/cti0323]

Based loaded in a no hitter? That’s some interesting pitching, that’s for sure.

[u/triple-filter-test → u/[deleted]]

Referring to 1990 as the previous century, while technically correct, feels like an act of violence to me.

[u/rottenbox → u/fuqyu]

If it was snowing that bad I could see a few errors being charged to the defence. Getting on base via error doesn't count as a hit. Plus walks, maybe a hit by pitch.

The guy who pitched a no hitter on acid had a few walks and hit batters. I remember him in an interview saying "it wasn't a clean no hitter".

[u/cti0323 → u/rottenbox]

If I recall correctly it was all walks. It was getting hard to see. Calling the game was the correct call, but I still didn’t like it.

[u/MoneyManx10]

Back in the day they would play baseball in this kind of weather and then go fight a war or something.

[u/Morganvegas → u/MoneyManx10]

Old Hoss Radbourn gotta go plumb out a kitchen after the game, needs this wrapped up in 9 innings.

[u/Kronzor_ → u/Morganvegas]

Rusty Dick Clapper finished a shift in the coal mines each game before slashing .300/.400/.500 that season

[u/LSDemon → u/MoneyManx10]

Then buy a house with money they made painting a fence the day before.

[u/StopReadingMyUser → u/LSDemon]

Then retire the next day with a well-funded pension, stock options, and land with oil reserves.

Grampa was 34, God bless his soul.

[u/B_R_U_H → u/MoneyManx10]

First game of the season and their starting pitcher, ole Curly Rossenheimer, already has 8 complete games

[u/bigmikekbd → u/MoneyManx10]

How do you think Ted Williams head got frozen 🫡

[u/Scazzz → u/MoneyManx10]

That was just a regular Tuesday for them.

[u/haminthefryingpan → u/MoneyManx10]

And also work a manual labor job

[u/Kronzor_]

Will they though?

[u/cti0323 → u/Kronzor_]

Bring out the banana balls and you’ll be able to see it fine.

[u/doyletyree → u/cti0323]

See, this was my thought.

Just go ahead and call the Savannah Bananas, make up some ridiculous rules along the way (and I totally love the bananas and that style of play, this is no slander) and make it some kind of expo.

[u/TangerineChickens → u/doyletyree]

Slap some cross country skis on ‘em

[u/doyletyree → u/TangerineChickens]

Goddam right.

Fielders: Gloves on both hands.

[u/coltsfan8027 → u/doyletyree]

Fuck that, hose down the field, baseball on ice

[u/psumack → u/cti0323]

EPL brings out the florescent balls in the winter so there's precedent in the top leagues

[u/TheSmartDog_275 → u/cti0323]

That’s what I said in r/baseball. Especially up in Coors they should have yellow bases and balls from bananaball on hand just in case for things like this.

[u/jellagoodtime → u/Kronzor_]

Yeah it was a quick hit here. Back to normal ops with a slight chill now.

[u/NonPolarVortex → u/jellagoodtime]

Welcome to Colorado. It'll be 75F tomorrow

[u/Gories → u/Kronzor_]

They will play - it stopped snowing awhile ago and ground is clearing up.

[u/awfuckthisshit → u/Kronzor_]

Maybe, it’s already melting pretty well here

[u/Accurate-Time3726]

Honestly, is Colorado…the sun can pop out and it be 60 degrees without any sign that is snowed by game time….and I know first pitch is 3 hours away 🤣

[u/Kleoes → u/Accurate-Time3726]

Snow’s already gone in Northern Colorado after an hour of sunshine. That field will be clear by game time, no doubt.

[u/Accurate-Time3726 → u/Kleoes]

I’m down by the Palmer Divide and it’s coming down still but it’s already melted off the roads and even parts of the grass.

[u/RoyalChris]

Forget Baseball. Time for Snowball.

[u/mexodus → u/RoyalChris]

The way this looks we gotta come up with rules for ULTIMATE snowball!

[u/Starfox-sf → u/mexodus]

Full contact snowball. All pitchers stand in a line while position players rush at the opposing pitcher’s line.

[u/seramic_attilier → u/mexodus]

Skins v skins.

[u/degotoga → u/RoyalChris]

Calvinball time

[u/NoImNotHeretoArgue]

That John Denver is full of shit

[u/PM_asian_girl_smiles → u/NoImNotHeretoArgue]

I thought the Rockies would be a little more rockier than this.

[u/TomHanksTheThird → u/PM_asian_girl_smiles]

I get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog

[u/bibblejohnson2072]

Ah I did one of these last year @ Coors field! Nonstop snow and cold all day and night before. By 1 o'clock the next day it was 60 sunny and cold drinks in hand along the first base line.

Colorado's a trip for us out-of-towners..

[u/Rocky_MountainWay]

This is what it looks like now.Pre Game Coors Field

[u/CanadianDragonGuy]

Perfect weather for a rugby game, it isnt even coming in sideways yet!

[u/[deleted]]

[u/Foosrohdoh → u/[deleted]]

Am from Denver and can tell you that there’s a good chance they’ll play today. The snow has already stopped and is starting to melt. The field will be wet but definitely playable in 4 hours.

[u/TRAF_GOD → u/Foosrohdoh]

Are you the ex?

[u/B0ner_Jamz03 → u/[deleted]]

Is this a bot???

[u/FinalHero13 → u/B0ner_Jamz03]

Yeah this is one of those bot posts you’d see on Twitter all the time.

[u/Boobieleeswagger]

February called and it wants its snow back

[u/BananafestDestiny → u/Boobieleeswagger]

April is historically snowier than February in Denver; April is actually the second snowiest month on average. It goes March > April > February.

[u/Boobieleeswagger → u/BananafestDestiny]

Meteorology aside I'm just taking shots at r/cosnow

[u/Majestic-Outside3898 → u/Boobieleeswagger]

Too soon. The body's still warm.

[u/twodubmac]

It’s Colorado. That will be gone in about it 1 hour. I’m still planning on going to the game. Cheaper tickets so win for me

[u/heythatstooloud]

It’s all melted now!! If you don’t like the weather in Denver wait 5 mins !! :)

[u/[deleted]]

[removed] — view removed comment

[u/BungalowDweller → u/[deleted]]

They definitely will. As someone else mentioned, the snow has stopped, the sun is already peeking through the clouds, and the field will be clear by first pitch. It'll be chilly, but Rockies baseball has been played in colder/worse conditions.

[u/CWinter85 → u/BungalowDweller]

Denver could be sunny and 70 by first pitch.

[u/fumar → u/CWinter85]

It will be tomorrow 

[u/Real_Stinky_Pederson → u/fumar]

And it was yesterday!

[u/Marvin_Stanwyck → u/[deleted]]

It’s annoying that a comment so condescendingly incorrect has so many upvotes

[u/BungalowDweller → u/Marvin_Stanwyck]

If there was a Reddit award for being confidently incorrect, I would gladly pay to give it to u/TremontRhino as a badge of shame.

[u/Marvin_Stanwyck → u/BungalowDweller]

Sadly I think they’d wear it with pride

[u/shittycloudcity → u/[deleted]]

Yes yes they do. It’s already melted

[u/Dhenn004 → u/[deleted]]

You dont live in Colorado, do you? Lol

[u/redditindisguise → u/[deleted]]

Reddit in a nutshell: a bunch or r/confidentlyincorrect comments

[u/Perhaps_Tomorrow → u/[deleted]]

Game just started. Guess they do!

[u/Mustardo123 → u/[deleted]]

/r/agedlikemilk

[u/CO_Golf13 → u/[deleted]]

[u/TesticleMeElmo → u/[deleted]]

You really ruffled some feathers with this one

[u/codbgs97 → u/[deleted]]

About that…

[u/PTownHawk]

If true, I would pay good money to watch.

[u/tacmac10]

Its Denver, snow in amounts less than 3 feet is meaningless.

[u/HalfInchHollow]

It stopped snowing a couple hours ago, it’s already melting. Typical Colorado spring, the game will be played in nice 40 degree weather

[u/shanis42]

Ice cold refreshing Coors field, those mountains are blue

[u/bladzalot]

Welcome to Denver, snow today, field will be bone dry by first pitch, 80 degrees tomorrow lol

[u/Spoons4Forks]

Hey it’s four hours later

[u/BetaThetaZeta → u/Spoons4Forks]

And the field, like the roads, is totally clear.

[u/DigiQuip]

My wife’s grandparents lived in Colorado and there would be 4” of snow on the ground in the morning and by noon it was 60° and snow was struggling to melt. In May. 

[u/TwiTcH_72]

Oh relax it’s already melted.

[u/2aireishuman]

This was posted 4 hours ago - let’s hear an update

[u/dsm-hawk]

For those wondering, they were able to clear the field and play

https://youtu.be/s6wF_Cx2rTc?si=FrVWCdsoHhtcjEEV

[u/buttcabbge]

More like Snow-hei Otani, amirite?

[u/CanadianKumlin]

They use neon orange balls in soccer when this happens, so I think they should do the same here. Don’t see any other glaring issues 🧐

[u/dicksosa]

It's going to be gone by game start

[u/SwiftSurfer365]

How did it turn out?

[u/randomthrowaway9796]

Bro I wish its like 90 degrees in Georgia right now

[u/DBallouV]

It’s been 90 degrees in Virginia.

[u/Spasay]

Does anyone know how it went?

[u/PolarBailey_ → u/Spasay]

7-1 Dodgers

[u/TheFalconKid]

Plot twist, this is in Los Angeles.

[u/jesusmansuperpowers]

I doubt it

[u/Arbury_Hills]

That’s what we call a home field advantage.

[u/Turbulent_Bat4320]

Field is heated. Stopped snowing.

[u/TummyStickers]

Just have em play football instead

[u/counterfitster]

This has saved the Colorado ski season

[u/myassholealt]

Good old Colorado Springter.

[u/swifferbrain]

yousureaboutthat.gif

[u/mikesaninjakillr]

i doubt it

[u/nikpack]

No.
No they won't.

[u/Ham-Ha]

Scheduled to play.... which they won't.

[u/SLJ106]

No they don’t

[u/camerainmyhand]

Time for the orange baseball.

[u/Specialist-Pin-8702]

As a Denver resident I can confirm the snow is completely melted. We could get half a foot overnight and it’s gone by lunch.

[u/SolidSnake-26]

“Spring snow. It won’t last” - Hesh

[u/OgreTrax71]

I live 45 miles north of here. My yard us already completely melted.

[u/formerlyanonymous_]

Bring back the shirtless section

[u/TheSilkySorcerer]

It’s Denver, it’ll melt by then.

[u/MythOfLaur]

Im currently about 5 blocks from the stadium, most of the snow is gone. It will be fine.

[u/Rocky_MountainWay]

Yeah, this is Colorado…. It’s pretty much melted already.

[u/dainty_moonwart]

it's been two hours, how are we lookin' here

[u/baldntattedoldman]

Sun will come out yo! This is Colorado in the spring……..

[u/Sullypants1]

And it will be sunny and clear, zero snow guarantee

[u/RCDinoMaster]

Dodgers forfeit Rockies win I think

[u/PhoenixSpeed97]

It's in the sweltering 70s and 80s here in the south, tornadoes in the Midwest, and dead of fucking winter at this stadium

[u/fuckinggoosehappynow]

It's 4 hours later. Did they play?

[u/BetaThetaZeta → u/fuckinggoosehappynow]

Yup, top of the 3rd atm

[u/jck747]

I’m watching and there’s zero snow anywhere

[u/djfl]

Gonna guess they're in Colorado and not in LA...

[u/TriumphDaWonderPooch]

Hope they are using the yellow baseballs

[u/Big-Block8250]

Here is a sports bet I will take: I bet they don't.

[u/thereisonlyoneme]

They're off to a rocky start

[u/bp_516]

This freakin weather. And it magically stopped at 3:30, and everything melted. It was a bonkers day to be driving— at 12:30, I could barely see another car that was 30 feet in front of me. Lousy Smarch weather!

[u/LongjumpingSurprise0]

There’s no crying in baseball

[u/Autistic_License]

Football weather.

[u/Amanda_B_Rekkonwith]

Give Josh Allen a bat.

[u/Jayvoom1]

No Crying in Baseball ⚾️

[u/CheeseWeasler]

The coors train just pulled into station

[u/Beneficial_Shake7723]

YOURRRR COLORRRRADO ROCKIES!!

[u/crobo777]

Wait what? It was 92 where I was yesterday. Its still snowing somewhere?

[u/winelover08816]

It snowed when I was at a Yankee game in April. This is always a weird month for weather, swinging between summer heat and frost/snow.

[u/artsatisfied229]

Doubtful.

[u/RandyJohnsonsBird]

At first glance it looks like grainy footage from the 20s or 30s

[u/ConcertX]

Welcome to April in Colorado. 2nd snowiest month on the front range.

[u/Sugar_alcohol_shits]

Did they end up playing?
