Report: AT&T Stadium in Talks to Serve As Possible Backup Host for Super Bowl LVI

The NFL and Cowboys are reportedly in talks to potentially make AT&T Stadium an emergency backup for Super Bowl LVI, according to Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA.

This year's Super Bowl is set to take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., the home of the Rams and Chargers, in what will be the first Super Bowl in the Los Angeles area in 29 years. But the league is reportedly covering its bases in the chance of increased COVID restrictions amid a recent outbreak in southern California.

However, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league always explores contingency plans for the Super Bowl, a policy especially relevant in the age of COVID-19.
