ALT MLB announced today that the Red Sox series finale against the Chicago Cubs will be relocated to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. Originally set for 7:15 p.m. on Sept. 26 at Fenway Park, the new game is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27 at the home of the Tampa Bay Rays.
The change was made in continued consultation with the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs due to the unchanged forecast of a major nor’easter expected to bring heavy rain, high winds, and potential flooding to the region during the weekend. Tickets purchased directly from the Red Sox will be automatically refunded back to the original payment. The ticket will hold no cash value. Refunds will be completed within 7 days.
Sunday’s game will be televised on NESN and will be broadcast in English on WEEI 93.7 FM and in Spanish on WESX 1230 AM/WCCM 1490 AM.
To ensure the safety of both traveling parties, the teams will travel to Florida this evening following the completion of today's doubleheader.
