Rainy Days

Tonight, the Tigers were originally scheduled to take on the Kansas City Royals. Mother Nature had her say, however.

Rain delays are more of an annoyance for us ushers than people think. We're expected to just stand out in the rain, helping people get up to the concourse to stay dry. People also think that we are the source of all weather-based info that comes into the stadium, when in fact, we know just as much as they do IF we have a smartphone or a fellow usher nearby can get an update on the weather from theirs. We're honestly trained to tell people to watch the scoreboard because those guys tend to get all the info needed to delay or reschedule the game before anyone else.

I was downstairs taking my break when the decision to reschedule the game was delivered. At that point, I just went back to my post and chatted with my supervisor for a bit, and then headed back to my car. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

Now, the tricky part is that it's expected to rain throughout the next couple days. We might have some more rain outs. Oh well.
