WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Friday's Purdue-UAlbany series opener at Alexander Field has been rained out and postponed to Sunday, setting up consecutive doubleheaders as part of the four-game series.
The teams are now planning to play doubleheaders Saturday at 1 p.m. ET and Sunday at noon.
Tickets for Friday's game can be exchanged for GA seats for either Saturday or Sunday this weekend. Or as is the case with all schedule changes at Alexander, tickets can always be exchanged for any future home game (excluding May 3-5 this year).
The Super Mario t-shirt giveaway for Sunday's Mar10 Day remains in place, with the gates opening at 11 a.m. The giveaway is planned for the first 100 fans in attendance.
Doubleheader Policy at Alexander Field for 2023
• Pre-Scheduled Doubleheaders (like Saturday): One ticket good for both games and reentry is permitted
• Late-Addition Doubleheaders (like Sunday): Reentry is NOT permitted; fans that leave the stadium need to scan a new ticket to return; one ticket still good for both games if fans remain in the stadium
March 9 still marks the earliest home opener in program history. Purdue has not played doubleheaders on consecutive days since February 2022 vs. Princeton in Holly Springs, N.C. Alexander Field has hosted consecutive doubleheaders just once before -- on the final two days of the 2021 regular season with Minnesota and Penn State in town for the three-team West Lafayette Pod weekend. Saturday, Purdue and Penn State finished a suspended game that had started Thursday followed by a Minnesota-Penn State game. The Boilermakers and Gophers played a traditional doubleheader Sunday.
