The Charlotte Checkers are still playing at home tonight despite the bad weather that’s caused schools, malls and offices to close. But one major component is missing: The fans.
The team said on its website Wednesday that its 5 p.m. game at Bojangles’ Coliseum against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers is closed to the public. Fans can exchange their tickets for future games by calling (704) 342-4423 or by emailing tickets@gocheckers.com.
The game was originally scheduled for 3 p.m., but pushed back two hours because of the weather.
Checkers spokesman Paul Branecky said the team didn’t want to encourage fans to drive when officials are advising people otherwise.
