COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Wednesday night’s game between the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Rapids was postponed due to severe weather in Colorado.

The game will be replayed at a later, yet-to-be-announced date.

The teams delayed until just before midnight local time before postponing the game, which was scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

Multiple tornadoes were reported in eastern Colorado on Wednesday, with the Denver area under a severe thunderstorm warning throughout the evening.

Videos posted to social media showed purple skies with heavy downpours and thunder and lightning at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
