The incoming storm has led to the postponement of Sunday's scheduled spring training game at Kino Stadium.

The news release:

TUCSON — With severe weather and cold temperatures expected Sunday, the game between the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 22 at 1:05 pm at Kino Stadium. Gates will open at 11:30 am Thursday.

All tickets purchased for Sunday’s game can be used for the rescheduled date on Thursday, March 22. Seat locations will remain the same and fans do not have to exchange their tickets.

Refunds are available for fans that cannot make the rescheduled game Thursday. Fans who want a refund must contact the Tucson Padres before Thursday by calling (520) 434-1367, emailing [email protected] or by visiting the box office in person. The box office is open from 10:00 am — 1:00 pm Sunday and 10:00 am — 5:00 pm on weekdays.

Additionally, fans may exchange tickets for Sunday’s game for Tucson Padres regular season vouchers if they notify the Tucson Padres before Thursday. For every $20 spent on Rockies vs. Padres tickets, fans can receive $30 worth of Tucson Padres box seat vouchers, good for any game except July 3. Again, for refunds or ticket voucher exchanges, fans must notify the Tucson Padres before Thursday’s game.

“We would like to thank the San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies for making a quick decision to reschedule this game. Both teams were tremendous,” said Mike Feder, Tucson Padres Vice President and General Manager.

While interest in the NCAA men's basketball tournament around these parts might be at a nadir right now (NIT fever! Catch it!), when you're inevitably discussion the intricacies of your bracket at the office later this week, it might help if you actually know where some of these schools are. Test your knowledge of colleges and universities you will likely forget the existence of by May with Mental Floss' "Where Is That School?" quiz. Full disclosure: I was tripped up by Creighton and Loyola for a score of 82%, but I'm ok with that. I knew that Creighton's in the middle there somewhere and that I think they have degrees available in Pet Grooming and TV/VCR Repair...that's good enough for me.
