The NFL, not surprisingly in the midst of a rise in COVID-19 cases, has looked into other potential sites for next month's Super Bowl.
That's not unusual because the league does so every year. But with Los Angeles the site for this year's title game, and restrictions increasing for attendance at indoor events, it has become more noteworthy.
"We plan on playing Super Bowl 56 as scheduled at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 13," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Wednesday. "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.
"Our planning process for the Super Bowl in Los Angeles is ahead of schedule and we look forward to hosting the Super Bowl there to culminate another fantastic NFL season for our fans and clubs."
AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, reportedly is one of the facilities that was contacted. The stadium hosted the Rose Bowl in 2021 when it was switched from Pasadena because of COVID-19 restrictions in California.

I hear Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville are wide open as well.
FU NFL.
Back to Tampa I say !!
In more ways than one.
They shouldn’t have a Super Bowl at all. Not if they believe the BS they have spewed all around about the covid.
I really don’t care about the NFL, but L.A./California losing the Super Bowl would be priceless!
They still play football? Who knew?
May I suggest North Korea
They just held the Rose Bowl with no problems. I thought that if they were going to flake out it would have been with the BCS games.
A buddy suggested that if this did happen that the NFL might go to Glendale AZ a year early and throw it back to CA next year in a swap situation. Make’s sense to me.
They’re a bunch of racists if they don’t move it to an African country.
They should put it in Atlanta to make up for the game Allstar that MLB took away
I like that thinking.
Kazakhstan sounds like a good place currently.
Perhaps eastern Ukraine.
Agree but I doubt I will get involved in watching the game.
Hold the superbowl in South Africa. With 80%+ South Africans already infected and recovered from Omicron, they have the best herd immunity going.
Bring it to the FREE STATE OF FLORIDA! Tampa in particular.
See my post #17, and it is not based on racist reasons, but practical situation on ground.
