Hard to play a soccer game when your city has been burned to the ground.

They won't move it because of tickets sales, homefield advantage, supporters transportation etc. It won't be hard to find a makeup date this early in the season.
I just hope ESPN can fill the 10am time-slot on Saturday with another game, preferably one not already be shown on Fox Soccer Channel or FSC+
