It would suck donkey balls if for three years in a row we would only play 11 regular season games because of weather. Hope there is a contingency plan in place.

It will be 6-7 days after a hurricane, and the hurricane isn't even forecast to make landfall near houston. Houston will get some rain. As long as there isnt widespread flooding the game will be played in Houston.

While I don't think, or hope, we ever see another Superdome post-Katrina event, you can't really down play the threat of 15-22" of rain. I don't care how good your infrastructure or how competent your city officials are, that's going to create major issues.
Then there's the issue of optics. How good would it look for LSU/BYU to meet if there is major or catastrophic flood damage in the city and region?
If that's the case, you contingency plan for another site and you be prepared to make that call if necessary. If you don't, then you're no better than Nola and La.

Good thing we are not schedule to play FLA! Snow flakes cannot play in the rain!

No reason to not have a contingency plan. If all is well then just tear that plan up and go on as scheduled. But if there is an issue and no plan you will have another Florida debacle.

Katrina had 7 inches of rain in 2 days. The rain event in New Orleans had almost 10 inches in 2 hrs. Just depends on the amount of time this rain is spread over for their non pumping gravity flow to retention ponds drainage system to catch up.

If we cancel a game for 3 years in a row of 11 game seasons I will do something unpleasant. We were 10-3 in 2015

No need to worry----------yesterday, they finished installing 2 O-Rings on the stadium---1 @ ground level & the other where the roof meets the side walls.....Double protection, IYKWIM....

there are a lot of delusional folks on the rant that have it in their head that a game is happening in Houston, PERIOD!!!!!
if current forecast holds and they get 25"+ over a 96 hour span of rain there will not be a game in Houston

Counting days is hard.

current forecast
key words
rainfall totals are not as accurate as other elements of the forecast either.

normally i wouldn't be worried, but the stadium is in the hood. usually poor people get flooded first.

As of this AM they are forecasting the Hurrican/Tropical Storm is going to move in and park itself over this area.. rain will not even move out of the area until middle of next week. Thats 5 to 6 days of rainfall...
Contingency plans would probably be a good idea...

You damn right Houston isn't Nola. No city in this country compares to the most culturally significant city in this country.
Posted on 8/24/17 at 9:26 am to redneck
The main problem is the unpredictability of these systems. If this animal stalls & then works itself back into the Gulf, which is in numerous forecast models, that's a bad scenario for a lot of people.

Alleva has offered to play game in baton rouge and Provo, UT the next 3 years.

I would never make that comparison. Louisiana is much more interesting.
