Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 Obviously things like this are more important than football, but this would be a massive development nicksaviking 1
nicksaviking Community Moderator Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 I can't imagine the fires will get to the stadium in Inglewood, if it did, that probably means LAX is already burning down and that would be bigger news. But last I heard the fires were near Santa Monica and that's close enough. Obviously the air quality will be a big concern, but does LA really want traffic and planes associated with an NFL game clogging up that area? LA should be telling Goodell and Kronke they aren't catering to their greedy little mouths this week and they can take their silly little game somewhere else. Aggies7, RpR and Mike Sixel 3
Vanimal46 Old-Timey Member Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 I’ve got to imagine they have to decide by Friday so travel arrangements can be changed. Honestly it would be tempting to see how much flights cost to get to Phoenix because the tickets to the game are going to be dirt cheap Aggies7 1

I haven’t been to a Vikings game since 2003. Football is just such an on TV sport for me though. Especially a playoff game. But this is really tempting because it’s been below zero wind chills here for days and my old 38 year old body can’t hack it anymore 😂 RpR 1

Same temps as Minneapolis. The bourbon is keeping me warm tho.
Vanimal46 Old-Timey Member Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 If the game gets relocated to Arizona then @TheLeviathanneeds to buy tickets and go to the game shirtless

Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 I mean, if the world made any sense, they'd move it......so no chance it's moved. Parfigliano 1

Parfigliano Verified Member Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 Wherever the game is played if QB2 (Mullens or Jones) has to play the Vikes are toast.

They'll also lose if all their shoes are tied together or they have to play defense blindfolded. Is Sam Darnold hurt or what is the impetus here? Mike Sixel and gunnarthor 1 1
Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 Darnold is listed on the injury report, but he was a full participant in practice. So I guess posting that was sort of making sense, but barely

Ok....unless we're required to play the QB2 on rotational basis, I don't see how it matters.
Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2025 Author Posted January 10, 2025 Just saw video of a fire within 5 mile of the rams practice facility. Could see the smoke from their fields. Got to imagine the rams will be leaving town soon and the chances of playing there Monday are very low.
Parfigliano Verified Member Posted January 10, 2025 Posted January 10, 2025 So no LA home field advantage and road game for everyone. Gotta think that would help Vikes.
nicksaviking Community Moderator Posted January 10, 2025 Posted January 10, 2025 This loss of homefield advantage could easily turn into chip-on-our-shoulders advantage for the Rams if McVey and the media spin this all sympathetically.

Not surprised either. I'm at an reginal airport with a handful of decent direct flights. I go to one Vikings road game a year and those flights are marked up the SECOND the schedule is released. I was at my computer waiting last year because I suspected that was the case and wanted to confirm. The airlines know this stuff before we do.

Should have jumped at it. Oh well, I think I’d rather see a regular season game in person and a playoff game on tv. I get a little rambunctious 😂 Mike Sixel and nicksaviking 2

Vanimal46 Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2025 Posted January 10, 2025 1000% the right decision to move this game. If the same thing was happening in MN I would say the same thing. Emergency services and air space take priority over 1 NFL game. They’ve got way bigger issues to address. nicksaviking, gunnarthor and TheLeviathan 3
