Look how fast the Hoos got to use the Dores stadium

It's not that easy.
It may not be, but plenty of money to do something.
When the GA Dome got damaged the Bumbles let the SEC use their empty arena. Seating was limited to 300 per school (300 for UK and 300 for UGA) but the game went on and was not cancelled.
As they are doing this several days in advance, solutions can be found.

The teams were already there, as were the fans.
I will agree that moving a football game to another stadium is easy, if you do not expect your fans to make it.
