The good news is that the torrential downfalls of rain that wreaked havoc on the East Coast thanks to Tropical Storm Ophelia began leveling off on Saturday evening when Ophelia was downgraded to Tropical Depression status. But she’s still cruising north and bringing considerable precipitation to the mid-Atlantic Coast, according to CBS News in Philadelphia.
The not so good news is that based on multiple weather forecasts, rain is anticipated to continue to be in the Philadelphia area throughout the morning and early afternoon on Sunday, September 24. In hopes of avoiding an extended rain delay or postponement, Major League Baseball announced last night that Sunday’s Phillies-Mets game has been moved from 1:05 p.m. to 6:05 p.m.

For this last-minute time change and in recognition of Fan Appreciation Day, fans who purchased tickets for Sunday’s game will receive a special ticket offer in February 2024 for an April 2024 game. Please email tickets@phillies.com or call 215-463-1000 with any questions.
