The Mets' final spring game on March 31 against Army has been relocated to Citi Field because of inclement weather, the team announced on Wednesday.
The exhibition contest was originally scheduled to be played at West Point, but the venue was changed because of last week's snow storm that impacted the academy's playing field.
The game will mark the ninth time the Army baseball team and the Mets have played one another in an exhibition. First pitch is still scheduled for 1:10 p.m. ET.
"We are all very disappointed that the weather did not cooperate and provide our cadets and the West Point community an opportunity to witness this incredible event," Army West Point Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan said. "I can't thank the Mets' organization enough for their support and willingness to move the game to Citi Field. We greatly appreciate the relationship we have built and hope the team can visit West Point for an exhibition game in the near future."
