The roof will be open for World Series Game 3 at Chase Field, where the forecast called for clear skies and a 76-degree temperature for the early evening start Monday.

The roof was closed while the grounds crew worked on the field before batting practice. The ballpark had grass from its opening in 1998 until artificial turf was installed for the 2019 season.
