The Vikings-Rams wild card game will be played in Arizona during the Los Angeles wildfires

The NFL wild card game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams will no longer take place at SoFi Stadium.

Instead, the two teams will play Monday’s scheduled game at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, as wildfires continue to rage in Southern California, the NFL announced Thursday.

The announcement came shortly after the Rams canceled player media availability following Thursday’s practice. A new fire broke out in the West Hills area Thursday, home to many Rams players and staff.

Before Thursday’s announcement, the league said it planned to keep Monday night’s game between the Vikings and Rams in Los Angeles. However, it also put in place an emergency plan in case the situation worsens in Southern California. As of Thursday evening, there were at least 180,000 residents evacuated and thousands of buildings destroyed.

Monday’s game is one of the few already affected by the wildfires. The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings have each postponed games from Wednesday.

Tickets for Monday’s game will be available to Rams season ticket holders at 10 pm PT on Friday morning. The general public will be able to purchase tickets after two hours.

The Rams and several players have also taken to social media to offer their support to the community in recent days.

The Los Angeles Chargers, who will travel to play the Houston Texans on Saturday, have pledged $200,000 to wildfire relief efforts.
