“Make that Mother Nature 2, Saints Home Openers 0,” team officials wrote in a release, noting this is the second consecutive year springtime snow has forced a change in schedule.
It also means the team will debut its controversially named ball pig one day later than planned.
The team still plans on hosting the Clippers at CHS Field on Saturday for what was supposed to be the second game in the series. Ticketholders for Friday’s game will receive a credit redeemable for future games. Anyone who purchased tickets at the box office will have to exchange them in person.
The team also rescheduled its hoodie giveaway. It will now be held during a game on April 12.
These Minnesotans are poised to play prominent roles in state and national politics in the coming years.
