The NFL has selected U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis as the contingency site for Sunday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, league executive vice president Jeff Miller confirmed Wednesday.
As of now, the game remains scheduled for Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The Buccaneers, however, have evacuated the area because of effects from Hurricane Ian’s landfall.
U.S Bank Stadium is available because the Vikings will be in London to play the New Orleans Saints.
Miller offered no timetable or deadline for making a decision but pledged that the league will not do anything to “negatively impact public safety efforts in the affected areas.” He did say that if the game is moved, it would be played Sunday night.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said his team will be ready to play wherever the NFL schedules the game.
