MINNEAPOLIS — U.S. Bank Stadium is the backup option if the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers need to move their Sunday night game out of Florida because of damage from Hurricane Ian, a National Football League official said Wednesday.
Jeff Miller, NFL senior vice president of health and safety policy, made the announcement on a call. Miller said the rematch of the 2020 Super Bowl is still on for Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, but that it will be moved to Minneapolis if necessary.
Miller said the first priority is to ensure the league doesn't do anything to "negatively impact public safety efforts in the affected areas. ... We're closely monitoring the situation, and in discussion with both clubs, the stadium, local and state authorities and various weather bureaus on a minute-by-minute basis."
