Don't know about the infrastructure, but the surroundings look like they've weathered the storm.

What happened to all of that water that was in the stadium.

the issue isn't around the stadium itself. the issue is the outlying areas and if people can even get to the stadium

That will have very little to do with the reasoning of moving the game. More dams broke last night, graves are starting to flood.
I highly doubt this city can handle a large influx of people right now. What about hotels? Restaurants? The roads just to get into the city?

It does not matter I'd the stadium is dry...the problem is available police, fire and first responders for the game, hospital census, closed roads, etc. It is not safe to introduce 100k more people into an already overtaxed system that does not have the resources to handle a crisis, or just basic needs of a huge gathering like that.

I don't know anything about Columbia, and I'm not insinuating because as a South LA resident who lived through Katrina I understand it can be a sensitive issue right now, but I know basically all of Baton Rouge becomes a giant cluster-frick on big game-days. So if part of the city was flooding and you dumped an SEC game onto it, it wouldn't work well in BR.
Don't know if that's applicable to Columbia, but that's really my only concern. You've likely got first-responders working around the clock and then you are going to ask them to work a game? Seems like it could be rough.

Still have 5 days before the game. Game will be played there, get it in your heads people.

For those saying the game will be flat out cancelled - no way.
It will happen, just not in Columbia this weekend.
It's almost as if some fans weren't alive during 9/11 or Katrina.

It not just about the stadium.
Its about: stadium workers, cops, roads to get to game, fans getting to game, hotels for team and fans, airports, rental cars, restaurants, sewers, water mains etc etc
