Another "Snow Clasico" at thingy's Sporting Good Park?
Colorado Rapids say the game will go on
The weather forecast is calling for snow and temperatures in the mid-30s for Saturday’s scheduled showdown at thingy’s Sporting Goods Park between the Colorado Rapids and the Portland Timbers (6 pm ET, MLS Live), but Mother Nature won’t keep the sides off the field, Rapids president Tim Hinchey told MLSsoccer.com by phone on Friday afternoon.
“The referees can always make a decision if somehow they feel it’s unsafe, but that’ll be a referee decision. We think it’s going to be more than ready to be playable,” Hinchey said. “We’re really comfortable with the playing surface.”
Hinchey said the team and grounds crew felt confident, based on weather reports and heating devices below the field itself, that the field conditions shouldn’t be a hindrance on Saturday despite the snowy forecast.
