PISCATAWAY -- Rutgers can rejoice.

The New York Yankees postseason run just cured a lot of angry football fans.

The doubleheader scheduled for Nov. 4 versus Maryland at Yankee Stadium has been moved to High Point Solutions Stadium, the school announced.

The joint decision between Rutgers and the Yankees was necessary in order to allow a sufficient amount of time to logistically stage the events in Piscataway due to the Yankees' current postseason run.

"We were looking forward to staging this historic event at Yankee Stadium," Director of Athletics Pat Hobbs said. "With two weeks until the date, it was important for us to finalize details that help ensure our fans and our student-athletes have a one-of-a-kind experience.
