In Search of Freer Alternatives? Super Bowl LVI May Soon Join Countless Californians Who Ditched Lockdown State Over Past Year

Super Bowl LVI may soon join countless Californians who have ditched the lockdown state over the past year in search of freer alternatives.

According to a report from Texas news outlet WFAA-TV this week, the NFL has begun looking into replacement venues outside California — including AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home to the Dallas Cowboys — in case strict COVID-19 restrictions in the state prevent the league from hosting the event in Southern California.

This year’s Super Bowl is currently scheduled to take place on Sunday, Feb. 13, at the brand new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, located just outside Los Angeles. The stadium is currently home to L.A.’s two NFL teams: the Rams and the Chargers.
