The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs is in jeopardy. Hurricane Ian from the Caribbean is approaching the US southeast coast. Parts of Florida have already been evacuated. The NFL is still waiting to see how some games will be dealt with.
NFL Executive Vice President Jeff Miller provides an update on the venue for the Buccaneers vs. Chiefs game, which is scheduled to be Sunday night’s home game for Tampa Bay. No decision has been made yet, but an alternative location is already available.
Buccaneers vs. Chiefs: alternate location US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis
“Until we know more about the storm, it will be difficult to make a decision,” Miller said, according to Albert Breer of The MMQB.
This week, the Bucs moved their practice to Miami. If the hurricane affects the weekend’s game, it still won’t be played in Miami, although the Dolphins play in Cincinnati on Thursday. According to Ben Fischer of the “Sports Business Journal”, the NFL said that US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis should serve as an alternative location.
Nothing is currently happening at the current venue, but that could change with the storm. Miller said it was “literally a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour assessment”.
The eye of Hurricane Ian moves toward Florida with a cataclysmic storm surge The storm is currently a Category 4 hurricane with maximum winds of 150 mph, dangerously close to Category 5 strength, according to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center .
