El emocionante juego de comodines entre Rams y Vikings se trasladará al State Farm Stadium de Arizona por los incendios forestales en Los Ángeles - The Athletic

El partido de playoffs de comodines entre los Angeles Rams y los Minnesota Vikings del lunes será trasladado del SoFi Stadium al State Farm Stadium en Glendale, Arizona, tras los devastadores incendios forestales que han afectado a la región del condado de Los Ángeles esta semana, anunció la NFL el jueves. El encuentro sigue programado para las 8 p.m. ET.

The NFC’s No. 4 Rams were previously slated to host the matchup against the No. 5 Vikings at their Inglewood, Calif., venue, but the league pivoted to its contingency plan after the deadly fires burned tens of thousands of acres around Los Angeles, displacing residents under evacuation orders and destroying more than 5,000 structures, according to recent estimates from fire officials. Officials told multiple outlets Wednesday that the fires killed at least five people.

“The decision was made in consultation with public officials, the participating clubs and the NFLPA,” the NFL said Thursday.
