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
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.

This is much harder on the team affected and gives the other team a huge advantage especially if they move the game to their home stadium but sometimes that team defies all odds and upsets the home team, 16-10.

True

Not really
They had sold like 70,000 tickets in the GA Dome
They had less than 1,000 tickets in the Bumbles arena
Most all those tickets when to player families, staff, and a handful of top donors so UK lost the advantage of having the "Blue Mist" in CatLanta

So you are saying moving it to Morgantown would not draw fans?
