Game location changed due to power outage

Well here's something I thought I'd never hear, the scheduled away game tonight has been turned into a home game due to power issues at the other school.

What's the most interesting/unusual reasoning you've heard for a game location change, cancellation, or reschedule?

Haven't really had one all that interesting, but the one you just posted about isn't very interesting either.

What I'm meaning is that I'm used to hearing of a game postponement, but not the change in venue.

I've had this happen as a player. Since we were too far from our court to have it go to ours, we went to the gym 10 miles away. As we were pulling out of the parking lot, they came back on.

The 1st games (BJV/GJV) have a scheduled start time of 4:15 PM. The 2 schools are approximately 2 & a half hours apart.

How/why the power issues I have no idea, as I hadn't heard anything in the news.

Years ago, when my better half and I were newly wedded and we lived in Los Angeles, I had a women's jr. college game that was about 30 miles east of where we lived. I arrived at the game site only to be told that the game was going to be moved to the visitor's gym, about 30 miles south of the home school because of a leak in the roof. We all hopped in our cars and went on a road trip. No mileage pay either. LOL
