Officials from both schools will meet with ESPN on Sunday to discuss moving the game away from Houston’s NRG Stadium. Two potential relocation sites are LSU’s Tiger Stadium or New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome. A source told SB Nation both schools are committed to playing the game Saturday in a different city. BYU does not allow its athletic teams to play on Sundays, per university policy in accordance with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

It could also conceivably be played on Monday (Labor Day). Not sure what that does to television, but it's not like it would be unprecedented.

BR & NOLA are simply 2 potential sites. Not the ONLY 2 potential sites.

Anywhere in La. is not going to work. Harvey headed that direction this week. Dallas, TX at Cotton Bowl is a GREAT location. Weather in Dallas will be fine. Besides, Cotton Bowl is a great venue. GEAUX TIGERS!
