SoFi SB Contingency plans under way

[LA_vision]

This is just clickbait. LA just recorded a record day of cases the other day and they are still playing Sunday. The cases should drop alot in 5 weeks time.

This.

Mask mandates have been in place forever in LA so the CA extension means shit.

The rest of the reporting is basically referring to a contingency plan that’s put in place EVERY Súper bowl for “what if’s”.

Yeah - LARRY LARRY LARRY . Wonder what radio station would be saying that ? Yeah - ARNOLD ARNOLD

It’s all those Kelly Ernby’s of the world that suffer from our Freedoms. I just hope Ram Fans stay safe & are able to make it healthy to SOFI to watch The Rams win The SuperBowl.

We can all cheer for who we want,just sad people can help themselves no matter what there addictions are. I’ll keep politics out of it though.Just saying though.

Seems like you didn't...

Not a huge deal. If it is moved I am sure we will get it next season and they will push back all other scheduled Super Bowl sites.

It's a logistical NIGHTMARE for all those traveling to the game for whatever reason.

Costs of airfares and lodging which cannot be cancelled, redirecting tens of thousands of people to a new area with only a few weeks warning...

The security preparations alone take MONTHS and involve more 3 letter agencies than you can shake a stick at as well as state, county and local law enforcement agencies not to mention the power (as in grid) agencies and companies, transportation companies, local and regional and on and on and on.

Sure, they are working on backup plans, but moving for anything short of a massive earthquake, terrorism or a new and very deadly COVID variant would be a disaster at every level.

Hahaha my sentiments exactly.

They say something like 80% of people just read headlines and the other 20% can't even comprehend what the headline is saying.

From the looks of this thread that statement holds true lol

What a litmus test...

So.. you're telling me the NFL *always* has contingencies.. but.. but..

 

[dieterbrock]

Other media news outlet like what?

And ESPN is parroting this toilet paper rag called the New York Post just to stir up shit.

ESPN is becoming more irrelevant because they want clicks.

The NY Post made the story as though the Super Bowl is going to be moved away from SoFi when it’s only “exploration in case of contingencies”.

The tone of this NY Post narrative makes it as though the SB move from SoFi is a foregone conclusion and that is not fair to the Rams and Rams fans.

Did you read the article?
Obviously not...
Here's the very first paragraph

"NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy tells WFAA that the NFL indeed has looked into backup venues for this year’s Super Bowl — as, he says, it does every year."

The fact this is even an issue is the problem. We all know if the SB was scheduled in Texas or Florida then there wouldn’t even be a discussion of possibly having to move a SB. This article would never have been written.

Not at all, just the post above yours explains that.
They have a contingency EVERY year
And in a year where the current Covid numbers are sparking, why wouldnt it be discussed? Glad to see they are proactive.
For now, it remains pretty clear the game isnt moving.

Exactly.
Why the need for some to trash the NY Post as if they made it up, is beyond me

No doubt!! I get that part of it.Still doesn’t mean there is no political byass involved.

San Jose had a backup plan as well for this season.Some city’s are tougher than others in the States.
