LOS ANGELES — The NFL is moving ahead full tilt with the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium, despite news Wednesday that the Grammy Awards have been postponed because of coronavirus concerns. This is the first Super Bowl in the Los Angeles area since the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills played at the Rose Bowl in early 1993. The NFL’s standard protocol is to have multiple stadium options, even for regular-season games, should one need to be moved. “Our plans for Super Bowl week and the game in Los Angeles are moving forward fully. We’re confident in our protocols for putting on full-capacity games safely.”Said Kathy Schloessman, chief executive of the Los Angeles Super Bowl Host Committee: “We’re looking forward to this opportunity to really show off Los Angeles to the rest of the world, and also show that Los Angeles can host safe events and it’s business as usual.”©2022 Los Angeles Times.
