Diamondbacks Face Embarrassing Scheduling Snafu, Forced to Cancel Concert to Face Dodgers in NLDS
On the eve of the National League Division Series between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks, a funny cat let out of the bag situation emerged on Arizona's side of things. It seems that someone somewhere in the D-backs front office didn't exactly expect their team to be playing baseball in October.
As such, the schedule at Chase Field needed to be altered just a bit to move a planned Guns N' Roses concert that was on the calendar for October 11th... the day the D-backs are hosting the Dodgers in Arizona for game 3 of the NLDS.
I'm sure the conversation in the front office at Chase Field went something like "DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE?? WE'RE IN THE PLAYOFFS, BABY!"
Sorry, that was bad and I admit that as we all move on.
The GnR concert was moved to a venue about 30 minutes away in Scottsdale, AZ, and the Dodgers and Diamondbacks will play as scheduled next Wednesday. Ideally, it will be followed by a clinching pool party for the boys in blue.
