re: UCLA Game where To Stay?

May want to look at Vegas. Some rumors starting to float it may be moved.

A few people on this board keep saying this, but are there "rumors" about this from any other source? I find the idea of the game being moved to Las Vegas exceedingly unlikely. People forget that this is not some sort of special, neutral-site season opener; this is a regular UCLA home game, and not even their first one of the year (they play Hawaii in the Rose Bowl the week before). Are they going to move that game to Las Vegas? What about the one on September 18th against Fresno State? If you were a UCLA season ticket holder (and they are selling season tickets with Rose Bowl seat assignments right now), wouldn't you be outraged if they just randomly moved their marquee non-conference home game out of state?

The Dodgers and Angels are currently playing home games in front of thousands of fans every night, and I have not heard any rumblings that that might change. If UCLA is going to start moving home games at the last minute (and we are currently only a month out from this one), what about the Chargers, the Rams, USC, etc.? Materially changing the arrangements for this game at this juncture would be a clusterf*ck of epic proportions--which I would not ENTIRELY put beyond Gavin Newsom and the California public health bureaucracy, but I do think the looming recall helps.
