    ICE, SNOW POSTPONE SATURDAY'S GAME VERSUS PISTONS

    by Casey Holdahl
    Posted: Jan 07, 2017
    Find a safe place to turn around and head back home if you're already started your sojourn to the Moda Center for Saturday night's game versus the Pistons, as the contest has been rescheduled for Sunday at 6 PM due to a ice and snow storm that is forecasted to roll into the Portland metro area Saturday afternoon.

    “The safety of our fans and players is always the highest priority, and this decision to delay our home game until Sunday was made with that in mind,” said Trail Blazers President & CEO Chris McGowan via press release. “Input from the NBA, local government and public safety officials also played a role in our decision to postpone until Sunday.”

    Forecasts are calling for snow, which has already begun to fall in the metro area, and up to an inch of ice, which could begin to accumulate just as players, coaches, team and arena staff and fans are scheduled to arrive at the arena. Given that prospect and the fact that neither team is scheduled to play again until Tuesday, the decision was made to bump Saturday's game to Sunday, when the whether is expected to be more manageable.

    Tickets for the now-cancelled game on Saturday will be honored for Sunday's game. Ticket holders who can't make it to Sunday's game also have the option of trading in their tickets for "a comparably valued game in the future." Fans who do plan on attending Sunday's game are encouraged to show up earlier -- the arena will open at 4:30 pm for the 6 pm tipoff -- and take alternate forms of transportation.

    This is the first time in over 10 years that a Trail Blazers home game has been postponed due to weather, with the last instance taking place almost exactly 12 years ago when "severe weather conditions" forced the cancellation of a game between the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies on January 6, 2005. The Trail Blazers did have a game versus the Nets postponed on January 29, 2015 due to snow, though that game was scheduled to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

    Saturday's scheduled game between the Portland Winterhawks and Everett Silvertips has also been postponed, though a date for the makeup game is still to be determined.

    Yeah, I though once they canceled the winterhawks game, the Blazers weren't far behind

    Okay, so it's Australia, not NZ, but it looks pretty darned good right now compared to the snow and ice around here.

    Lame. It's just snow. And this is the good kinda snow, at least from a driving standpoint. Ground is frozen so the snow is dry and blows rather than melting and re-freezing.

    I won't be surprised if it stays as snow until much later tonight or tomorrow AM, at least up in Portland Metro and near the RG.

    Seems like conditions are likely to be worse tomorrow evening than this evening.

    Well shit. I was hoping to watch a Blazers game tonight. I'm assuming fans who bought tickets get refunds? Do they get tickets to the rescheduled game? How does that work? I'd be pissed either way. I have tickets to the game against Orlando next week and if it gets cancelled, I just won't get to go to a game at all this season. It's the one game I can fit into my schedule this year and that I'm going to make the drive for.

    It's been 105F in the shade here for the last couple of days. Today a cool change has come through, and it's only going to be 86F.

    I was looking forward to cooking a BBQ lunch, and settling in for an afternoon of Blazer basketball. Guess I'll just have to settle for watching the 36ers beat down the NZ Breakers.
