Only a small fraction, like 6%, are displaced homeonwers because of the flood. The vast majority are workers and insurance adjusters.

There are a few rooms left but the price skyrocketed nearly $50 per room.

They could stay in NOLA and bus to BR for the game on Saturday.

Good point Mountain Tiger. Not optimal I guess but it is what it is. It's not like we asked for this to happen.

The difference between FL and SC is pretty striking. SC is way out ahead in making preparations at this point, not just the university but the state. The UGA-USC game is at a near certainty of being cancelled already, while UF is still stalling the decision.

Someone mentioned playing either in Bryant-Denny or Jordan Hare which seems like it could be feasible since both Alabama and Auburn are away this week.

I do too. But under the circumstances I would be willing to accept it.

Playing in Tiger Stadium has some logistical issues but makes the most sense.

Play it at Ladd-Pebbles in Mobile. Easy to get to by both fanbases right on I-10. I know its a small venue but they won't come close to filling Bryant Denny or Jordan Hare with a change this late.

Not a bad idea. Can it be ready for a game Saturday?

From my understanding, the hotel that houses visiting teams for gameday is filled this weekend with another event.

It was the same way with SCar last year but there was much more flexibility in the hotels this time last year.

Here is a novel idea. Put Florida up at Lod Cook and the Tigers can stay in their normal rooms.

Florida could stay in Hammond, plenty of rooms there.

Yeah it's highly doubtful the game is outright canceled, IMO.
