Monday night’s playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings is still on track to be played at SoFi Stadium but the NFL is preparing a contingency plan in case the wildfires in Southern California force it to be moved.
The league issued a statement Wednesday saying the a contingency plan would include the game being relocated to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona if needed. State Farm Stadium is the home of the Arizona Cardinals.
The NFL will “continue to closely monitor developments in the area and will remain in contact with public officials, both clubs and the NFLPA.”

The fires have caused more than 70,000 people to evacuate the area, with five confirmed deaths in the Los Angeles area. The flames have also destroyed more than 1,000 structures, making it the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history.
