Minneapolis will host Buccaneers vs. Chiefs if Hurricane Ian forces game out of Florida

The NFL's premier game this week would move across the country to Minneapolis if damage from Hurricane Ian forces the league to relocate it from Tampa, Fla.

U.S. Bank Stadium would host the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in primetime Sunday if "public safety efforts" need to be the priority, an NFL spokesman said.

Jeff Miller, NFL senior vice president of health and safety policy, said Wednesday that the rematch of Super Bowl LV in 2021 is still scheduled for Raymond James Stadium in Tampa but would be moved to Minneapolis if necessary.

"It's literally a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour consideration and conversation with all of the affected parties, state and local authorities, disaster relief agencies and the participating clubs — as well as the Vikings," he said.
