Share

Our first glimpse at the 2020 Cubs will have to wait.

Because of forecasted inclement weather into the afternoon, the Cubs' first spring training game on Sunday will be postponed to later in the day.  This is to let the rain past and prep the field for the tomorrow's opener at Sloan Parka gainst the Oakland Athletics.

The Cubs game will now start at 7:10 CT instead.

And it's not just the game that is affected, the Cubs are encouraging fans to reconsider how they plan on getting to the ballpark.

"With high rain accumulation expected through the day, parking at Sloan Park could be limited," the Cubs said in a statement. "The Chicago Cubs and City of Mesa encourage guests to carpool, take public transportation or utilize ride sharing services."

The good news, no ticket exchange is necessary. So if you get there and the rains pass, you shouldn't have a hard time getting in.
