A slow time in sports got even slower on Thursday as some games on the schedule were altered due to the air quality in the Northeast and Midwest.<\/p>\n

Wildfires in Canada<\/a> have affected the air quality in those areas to the point where residents were urged to stay inside and wear masks if they had to go out.<\/p>\n

At least two sporting events were forced to be moved because of the air: one MLB game and an MLS match.<\/p>\n

Polish soccer star Robert Lewandowski was set to make his MLS debut on Thursday, but the air quality forced the postponement of his Chicago Fire\u2019s contest against the Vancouver Whitecaps.<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Phillies also announced roughly three hours before the scheduled first pitch that their game against the New York Mets<\/a>, originally slated for 7:10 p.m. ET, was moved up an hour.<\/p>\n

The National Women\u2019s Soccer League played a game at Citi Field that turned into the most-attended women\u2019s sports contest in New York history, with 42,175 people attending Gotham FC\u2019s match against the Washington Spirit at Citi Field. But Washington\u2019s Trinity Rodman wasn\u2019t happy with the game, which included two hydration breaks per half, being played.<\/p>\n

“If we have to have a hydration break every 15 minutes, then we shouldn\u2019t be playing the game, and that\u2019s my opinion,” Rodman said<\/a>. “But at the end of the day, there\u2019s 40,000 people. It\u2019s a whole event, so it\u2019s really tough. It\u2019s just a really hard situation for everyone to work around.”<\/p>\n

Three MLB games were postponed in 2023 due to air quality concerns in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

The air quality in the tri-state area has been deemed “unhealthy,” perhaps putting a wrinkle in Sunday’s World Cup final<\/a> at nearby MetLife Stadium. But it is expected to be better in time.<\/p>\n

Due to the air quality, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said she “directed” NJ Transit and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority “to make select quantities of masks available to commuters and at rest areas along the Turnpike and Parkway.”<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> urged residents to “stay somewhere cool” and “drink plenty of water.”<\/p>\n
