I hope so. Scranton, 1992 DCA finals day... it rained all day... stopped about a half hour before finals started. My brother came up from NJ to see the show, and said it was raining nonstop until he was about 15-20 minutes from the stadium. So you're right... lots can change. I just tend to worry about stupid stuff I can't control. Edited August 29, 2019 by Fran Haring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was... at the 10 AM prelims start time, parts of the field were still under water from a huge storm overnight... and the field's drainage system had not kept up. There was a baseball game scheduled for that evening, so there was a limited window of time to get the field drained and ready... not enough time before baseball. So both shows ran on Sunday, like the old days, and we had a nice Saturday afternoon off as a result!!!
