NEW YORK (AP) -The New York Yankees’ staff met with event personnel Tuesday, a day after fans complained they left the ballpark during a rain delay and were denied re-entry when the game against Boston began.
Yankees public address announcer Paul Olden made just two announcements, one when the game went into a delay shortly before the scheduled 7:05 p.m. start and another at about 8:50 p.m., when he said the start had been rescheduled for approximately 9:20 p.m.
Some fans who had left the ballpark reported that they were denied re-entry and others said they were allowed back in, according to the Daily News.
Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo said Tuesday the team has a posted policy against re-entry, but said he understood it was possible some fans were let back in. Zillo said it also was possible some game-day staff had told fans the game was being rained out.
“We have about 5,000 game-day event staff,” he said. “Today we’re being proactive. We’ve met with supervisors and with all ranges of guest services people.”
re announcements and post more scoreboard updates.
“There should be once voice coming from the Yankees during any rain delay situation via either the PA announcer or scoreboard messages,” he said. “We recognize that we can give fans information more repetitively during a rain delay situation.”
