The Superdome isn't happening because of the rain and the concern over the pumps not working properly.

Maybe not, but that's what they're waiting on.


They couldn't responsibly announce the game to be played in New Orleans today, considering there's still a lot of uncertainty with the track of the storm and the rainfall totals in southeast Louisiana.

They SHOULD have a better idea by tomorrow. If they feel New Orleans won't see more than the originally anticipated 4-8 inches of rain, they'll probably play it there. If New Orleans looks like it might get 10+ inches of rain, I'm not sure if ESPN would pull the trigger. After that is when you'll see Orlando, Jacksonville, Dallas, etc. come into play, and a decision will be made swiftly.

It has to be announced by tomorrow, IMO. If they still aren't sure about New Orleans at that point, then they just can't play it there.
