Red Sox-Cubs Game 162 moved to Tropicana Field amid weather concerns
Weather forces a neutral-site venue change for the final regular-season game between Boston and Chicago.
The Red Sox and Cubs are scheduled to play their Game 162 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg rather than the originally planned venue. The relocation is due to weather conditions affecting the original site. Tropicana Field is a domed stadium, eliminating further weather risk for the contest. This is a significant logistical change for the final game of the regular season.
