The game will be on big screen in the stadium bowl area. Bad weather is in the Cleveland forecast for Friday, but Game 4 is now scheduled for 8 p.m. because of the Brewers' sweep of the Dodgers in the NLCS.

Tropicana Field will host watch parties for the Tampa Bay Rays while they play in Cleveland in the American League Championship Series.

Game time for Game 4 on Friday and Game 5 on Saturday is 8 p.m. Although a stormy weather forecast on Friday in Cleveland could lead to a schedule change.

As of Thursday, watch parties will have the action on the 171-by-36-foot LED videoboard in the Trop's bowl area. For these games, the Rays are offering three levels of fan access.

An $8 general admission ticket includes the telecasts, on-field photo opportunities, access to the Cownose Clubhouse stringray tank, drawings, appearances by the Rays' mascots, food and drink for purchase, and more.

For $25, fans can enter an exclusive field area to play catch while watching the games. Bring your glove and the Rays will provide tennis balls (for safety purposes, no hardball). General admission offerings are included. A minimum of two tickets must be purchased.

An all-inclusive $60 ticket gets you into the 162 Landing area on the field level in left field, and food, beer, wine and soft drinks are included in the price. Plus, there is access to the catch area and general admission amenities.
