...a month into the USL Pro season. There has to be a baseball reason, extended spring training or something. Because it makes no sense not to take advantage of our late March/early April weather.
The last Giants, home, preseason game is the afternoon of April 1st. Last season, it was stated that it took about 2 weeks for the new sod to fully take root and be ready to be played on. With this in mind, it would be, at least the 15/16 of Arpil, so the first weekend fixture would be Saturday the 18th and this is only 1 week later than that. Because they have to fit around other clubs schedule limitations too, then this may have made the 18th unworkable.
