Chase Field Roof Open for World Series Game 3 Amid Clear Skies, 76-Degree Temperature

Roof Retraction Times to Diamondbacks Advantage, Improving Season Record; Park-Adjusted Numbers Signal Win Despite Lower Ball Carrying Capacity.

The roof of Chase Field was open for World Series Game 3, on a clear sky evening with a 76-degree temperature. This took place while the Arizona Diamondbacks were taking batting practice.
The decision to open the roof could be beneficial for the Diamondbacks, who had a 15-8 record in games that started with the roof open during the season, as opposed to a 27-31 record with the roof closed.
Diamondbacks' management believes that despite a lower ball carrying capacity, the park-adjusted numbers indicate a possible win when the roof is open.
Outfielder Corbin Carroll also suggests that an open roof might help the offense as the ball carries more in such conditions.
The roof had remained closed for the first two games at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, while it was open during previous significant games in Phoenix, including certain games from the 2001 World Series.
