Overnight Fire at White Sox Home Shouldn’t Delay Today’s Game Vs Indians
The Indians had two postponed games against the Red Sox this week, and now they move to on Chicago to play the White Sox. Once they get to US Cellular Field, they may smell smoke from an overnight fire in the stadium
The Chicago Tribune reports on the fire, and states that the home opener between the Indians and White Sox will go on as planned at 4:10pm Eastern.
The fire started around 2:25 a.m. in a storage room near Gate 2 on the first floor of the White Sox stadium at 333 W. 35th St., Chicago Fire Department spokesman Jeff Lyle said.
Fire engine 29 responded to a fire alarm and asked for additional assistance. The blaze was struck out about 3 a.m., Lyle said.
