The Rams will have to move their homefield advantage to Arizona
The NFL is relocating the Rams-Vikings wild card playoff game to Glendale, Arizona due to the California wildfires, the league announced on Thursday evening. The game will be on Monday night at 5 PM PT, just as it was previously, but now the contest will be held in Arizona.

“In the interest of public safety, Monday’s Vikings-Rams Wild Card game has been moved from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA to State Farm Stadium, the home of the Arizona Cardinals, the NFL announced today.”
There has been speculation that the Vikings will have a much stronger fan presence in Arizona than they were about to have in Los Angeles, but at this point there’s nothing the Rams can do other than what’s in the best interest of the public and the state of California. Clearly the league, the teams, and the city have come to the conclusion that moving the game was the only solution.
