“As part of our standard contingency planning process that we conduct for all regular and postseason games, we have contacted several clubs to inquire about stadium availability in the event we cannot play the Super Bowl as scheduled due to weather-related issues or unforeseen circumstances. “We plan on playing Super Bowl LVI as scheduled at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 13,” McCarthy said. Though speculation has been made that the NFL is preparing to move the Super Bowl because of potential COVID restrictions in California, McCarthy says that the league makes these inquiries every year as a contingency plan.
The NFL has confirmed through spokesman Brian McCarthy to WFAA in Dallas that the league has inquired into the availability of AT&T Stadium for that same date to host the Super Bowl. The other would be if the NFL decides that playing Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium can’t happen and that they need to move the game elsewhere. The Los Angeles Rams would love to be the second team in as many years to play in the Super Bowl at their home stadium, but getting through the NFC gauntlet in the postseason may only be one hurdle that the franchise must overcome to get there.
