Saturday's match between the visiting Columbus Crew and New York City FC has been postponed due to required field maintenance at Citi Field.
The game has been rescheduled for Sept. 17 at Yankee Stadium.
'Following a high volume of events at Citi Field and the intense heat and weather conditions in New York City, the stadium's grass sustained considerable wear and tear in recent weeks,' NYCFC announced Thursday.
'To ensure the best and safest playing surface for all athletes, the field has been resodded. As a result, only baseball events are permitted at Citi Field for a minimum of three weeks while the field fully recovers.'
NYCFC also pushed back its Sept. 19 match against Charlotte FC to Sept. 20, also at Yankee Stadium.
Kickoff times for both rescheduled dates will be announced as soon as possible.
The New York Mets are on the road this weekend with a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Their next game at Citi Field is Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves, the opener of a six-game homestand.
