Update on Chiefs-Bucs game: NFL is going to wait as long as possible to make a decision... most likely tomorrow. If the game is moved, I'm being told Minneapolis is preparing to host the game. https://t.co/PdNCOHBlEB

It seemed like New Orleans was the other option but I'm guessing Tampa may not want to play there since that's their biggest rival. It'd be like the Chiefs playing a home game in Denver. The local fans would come out to root against them and it'd be a road game. Although Minnesota might not be much better but maybe the late Sunday night time will keep too many fans from traveling up.

It’s Tom Brady, the local fans will come out to book him regardless I would imagine. [Reply]

Panthers, Falcons, Saints, Cowboys, Texans, Colts, Eagles, Steelers (and Bengals on TNF). all play at home, heh.... Nashville may have been the only close-ish stadium. [Reply]
My son in law's parents are in town this week. They live outside of Tama and were going to head home to put up the shutters but said the hell with it. I have lived thru Tornadoes but I can't imagine the weeks worth of waiting/wondering hoping the gulf coast peeps go thru. Tornadoes are a few hours of oh shit. I would rather live in tornado ally than play the hurricane lottery for a week. Good Luck to you Florida CP'ers. [Reply]

Told me he couldn't get out at this point even if he wanted to. Yikes...
Siesta key is under mandatory evacuation. Good luck, as of tomorrow he won't be able to leave. As of 5pm there wont be water or power [Reply]

If this is the situation, one would think that they would move the Minnesota-Saints game back to wherever the home game should have been, and then move the Chiefs-cheaters game to the international venue. [Reply]

Good grief. And honestly I don’t care, it’s a shorter trip for us and a much longer one for them (so I’m content to not even acknowledge the possibility of Nashville). It just seemed unlikely that all relativity close stadiums would be in use in the same week. I’m glad I didn’t go looking for odds on that. [Reply]
Gonna start seeing some storm tonight before midnight and the main eye overnight tomorrow
Hang in there those like me that are staying put. God speed to those who waited to leave and will be stuck on the highway.
They are considering opening the shoulders to drive on. [Reply]
