Chatter from friends, and on WFAN, is that stadium employees (concessionaires) told fans that the game was called. When fans tried to re-enter the park, they were not allowed re-entry. I guess the Yankees thought there would be massive attempts to sneak into the stadium at 9:20pm and this was all part of “official procedure.”
All this is unconfirmed, but the source is a reliable one. I am checking with the fine folks over at New Stadium Insider to see what they know.
There is also no truth the rumor that tonight’s first pitch will be at 10:45pm.
The Yankees should absolutely offer all ticketed fans a raincheck for last night. George would have.
UPDATE: confirmed via WFAN and Daily News.
