Vikings-Rams NFL playoff game could be played at State Farm Stadium: Here's why

Wildfires in Southern California may lead to the NFL moving the wild-card game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams from Sofi Stadium to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ, if necessary.
Over 70,000 people have evacuated Los Angeles due to the wildfires, with air quality indices reaching levels considered very unhealthy.
The NFL is monitoring the situation closely and prioritizes the safety of the Los Angeles community, as stated in their official announcement.
The game is unlikely to be postponed, but the location change is being considered due to the safety concerns raised by the NFL Players Association.
