Cubs fans sing `Take Me Home, Country Roads’ during fog delay at Wrigley Field

The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-0 in a game at Wrigley Field that was delayed twice due to weather conditions. Initially, the game started an hour late because of rain, and later, a 15-minute delay occurred after the sixth inning due to dense fog. Despite the challenging conditions, players managed to avoid any errors. During the fog delay, the crowd of 38,872 entertained themselves by singing John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” a song that has gained popularity during the World Cup. The delay was announced as a result of “weather in the area” after discussions between the umpires and team managers. QUESTION: How might weather-related delays in sports events impact the experience for both players and fans?
