Will The Rapids Play The Sounders Tomorrow?

h/t to Centennial 38 for the meme

I'm not doing a full preview because I have serious doubts the game will be played tomorrow.  Right now the forecast from 6-9pm in Commerce City is blizzard conditions.  There's no way the team and league can ask staff, players, and fans to come out to a game in an actual blizzard.  Maybe the forecast changes overnight but if it doesn't they've got to call the game off by mid-morning.

They can't push the game to Thursday as Colorado is hosting DC and Seattle is hosting Toronto on Saturday and 48 hours isn't enough down time.  Looking at Seattle's and Colorado's schedules the biggest gap is the Gold Cup break in June.  Depending on the Open Cup draws you might be able to slip a game in right as the break starts or ends, though I can't imagine anyone being real excited about that.  Other than that there isn't a great time to put a game in, between Open Cup dates and international match dates.  Whatever they do will be annoying, even if its next Wednesday.

If, somehow, the game goes on then I'll predict a 2-1 loss in sloppy conditions.
