Tampa Game Could Be Moved


Recommended Posts

The NFL continues to monitor the situation, but as of Monday evening, the plan is still for the Bucs to host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night at Raymond James Stadium. In the event the Bucs are unable to host the game, the NFL is unlikely to use Miami as the new game site, league sources told ESPN's Jeff Darlington, even though the Dolphins -- who play at Cincinnati on Thursday night -- won't be using their stadium on Sunday.

According to sources, the NFL does not want to risk taking up state resources to host a game in Miami that could be better utilized in Tampa in the aftermath of the hurricane.

If Sunday's game has to be moved, it is likely the Bucs and Chiefs would play at a neutral site in the Midwest, such as Minneapolis (the Vikings play the New Orleans Saints in London in Week 4). Those plans remain fluid given the unknown path of the storm.
