Poor field conditions postpone SB Cubs opener
(South Bend) — It’s dry. It’s 57 degrees and there’s a brand new upper deck to show off. So why didn’t the South Bend Cubs play their home opener Friday night?
While everything else is ready, the field is not.
Having taken heavy rain since Tuesday, the Four Winds Field infield was deemed unsafe for proper player safety. After speaking with coaching staffs, umpires, and Major League Baseball officials, it was deemed best to not play Friday night’s game.
More rain is expected overnight, although South Bend and the Quad Cities River Bandits are hopeful of opening the season tomorrow afternoon with the first pitch slated for 4:05 p.m.
Gates open at 2:30 PM. Fans with tickets from tonight’s postponed game may exchange them for any other game in the 2026 season. Tickets do not need to be exchanged right away.
