Tropicana Field has been rendered unplayable for the Rays due to Hurricane Milton, compelling the team to use George M. Steinbrenner Field for home games. Steinbrenner Field features unique challenges regarding wind patterns and sunlight interference. White Sox manager Will Venable noted that preparation is necessary to navigate these conditions, emphasizing the issues of twilight and communication. Additionally, the extreme heat adds complexity to normal recovery routines for players typically accustomed to the indoor environment of Tropicana Field.
"The big thing we heard is the twilight is an issue here. That's something we'll be prepared for and extra emphasis on communication. And offensively, just not assuming anything."
"I don't think that playing in the heat was as big a challenge as just trying to figure out the best way to recover."
