Red Sox move final game of series vs. Cubs to Tampa Bay's Tropicana Field to avoid nor'easter

Severe weather conditions hitting the Northeast have prompted a major scheduling adjustment for the final series of the Major League Baseball regular season. With a powerful nor'easter bearing down on Boston, league officials have decided to relocate the weekend contest between the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox to a neutral dome in Florida.

Instead of playing the final matchup at Fenway Park, both ballclubs will travel south to complete their series indoors. The impending storm had already forced the two organizations to compress their schedule by opening the series with a doubleheader on Friday.

Although both squads have already secured postseason berths, the unexpected venue change ensures that Mother Nature will not disrupt the conclusion of their regular-season schedule.
