Not sure how long, but that's what the Minnesota baseball twitter account reported a few minutes ago...

Greg Sharpe just confirmed the game is delayed due to weather.

The current wind chill is 27F.
The Big Ten has a rule as of last year that games cannot start unless the wind chill is at least 28F.

They will check the conditions at 2pm CDT. The National Weather Service will be the official source.

If conditions are adequate, the game will start 50 minutes after such determination.

The earliest today's game will start is 2:50pm CDT.

Interesting-I didn't know there was a rule dictating a minimum temperature to play.

Yeah, they implemented it just last year Sharpe said. Both for player safety and fan comfort.

But hey, don't we have a heated field to help with snow melt. That should help, right?
