COSTELLO: Checking some top stories for you at 58 minutes past. The first game of the new NFL season turned out to be a bust. The Hall of Fame game between the Green Bay Packers and the Indianapolis Colts was canceled 90 minutes before kickoff. Paint used on parts of the field became hard and slippery, creating dangerous conditions for the players. Fans will get a full refund. He never said the word retirement, but Alex Rodriguez is saying goodbye. A-Rod will play his last game as a New York Yankee this Friday and then become a special advisor and instructor for the team.</s>ALEX RODRIGUEZ, DESIGNATED HITTER, NEW YORK YANKEES: I do want to be remembered as someone who is madly in love with the game of baseball. Someone who loves it at every level. Someone who loves to learn, teach it, watch it, play it, coach it. And also, I'm going to be hopefully remembered for someone who tripped and fell a lot. But someone who kept getting up.</s>COSTELLO: Ticket prices for A-Rod's final game are surging online. The average resale prices online have skyrocketed nearly 400 percent. Before the announcement, tickets were going for about $75. Well now they're around $345. Thank you for joining me today, I'm Carol Costello.
