PORTLAND, Ore. --- The scheduled fireworks show that was to follow the University of Portland men's soccer game at Merlo Field on Saturday night has been cancelled due to hazardous air conditions and fires throughout the state of Oregon.
"The poor air quality and fire outbreak throughout the state of Oregon made the decision to cancel Saturday's fireworks show a straight forward one," University of Portland Vice President for Athletics Scott Leykam said. "We will offer refunds or ticket exchanges for those who will no longer be able to attend Saturday's match. In the meantime, and most importantly, we extend our thoughts and prayers to those currently affected by these wildfires.
