Cleveland’s MLB team, The Guardians, [pushed back its home](https://www.space.com/total-solar-eclipse-2024-mlb-baseball-games) opener against the Chicago White Sox until 5:10 p.m. on April 8\. They are opening the gates to the ballpark early, though, so fans can watch the eclipse when totality begins at 3:13 p.m. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will help celebrate the eclipse with [SolarFest](https://www.rockhall.com/solarfest), a four-day festival, running April 5-8, with live music, as well as “an eclipse-themed soundtrack” and DJ Grandmaster Flash headlining.
