U2 Concert Shifts Marlins-Mariners Series To Seattle
NEW YORK (CBS4) -- A three-game series between the Florida Marlins and Mariners from June 24-26 has been moved from Miami to Seattle because of a U2 concert.
Major League Baseball said Thursday the change was made because of the scheduling conflict at Sun Life Stadium. The rock band U2 is scheduled to play at the stadium on June 29 and the Marlins must vacate the stadium to allow setup time for the concert.
Florida will remain the home team and will bat last, and the series will be played under NL rules, without a designated hitter.
