A Diamondbacks game at Chase Field was unexpectedly canceled due to rain in the 6th inning, despite the stadium's retractable roof. The cancellation occurred because the roof, which is designed to protect against such weather, cannot be opened or closed while fans are present in the building. This incident has highlighted a rare sight at Chase Field, as rainouts are not common due to the roof's design. The situation led to people scurrying as the unexpected weather took everyone by surprise.

I saw a rainout at Chase Field and assumed the leak in the roof had just gotten worse
The Diamondbacks, who have a roof, had to cancel tonight's game in the 6th inning due to ... rain 😅 They cannot open or close the roof while fans are in the building. https://t.co/B2fvHQz0Vy

A rare sight at Chase Field: It is raining. The roof still cannot be opened and closed with fans in attendance. People are scurrying.
