The NFL has decided to relocate the Rams' wild-card playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings to State Farm Stadium in Arizona due to health concerns from ongoing wildfires in Southern California.
The game was originally scheduled for SoFi Stadium, but public safety was a priority, leading to the change. Tickets will be available on Seatgeek.com.
Additionally, the Lakers' matchup against the Charlotte Hornets was postponed as the team announced it would be rescheduled, with tickets honored for the new date.
The statement from the Lakers expressed condolences for those impacted by the wildfires, highlighting the team’s focus on the safety of the community.
Affected individuals, like soccer player Carlos Vela's family, have shared their struggles, with many losing homes to the fires.
