Hope We Can Get The Game In on Monday Night: Charts Don't Look Good

You need to look at the center not the forecast cone. It it is near Puerto Rico on Sunday that puts it over 1,000 miles from Miami traveling at 14mph and it will change in speed and forecast if it strengthens.

I don't know much about Hurricanes and their paths and you being down there you would likely know a whole lot more than me. What makes you think it won't come near Miami?

Continue with your plans a lot can change in just 24 hours.

I hear ya. I had tickets to that San Diego/Miami game a few years back. The fires were raging. League delayed a day, and moved the game to Arizona. Had to scramble to sell the tix.

With travel now adays, an out-of-state fan plans their trip (usually five months in advance) and it costs like 2 grand. Now you gotta scramble to see if you can adjust your plans.

You sold the tix? That game in Arizona turned out to be free admission because they couldn't set up a ticketing system on such short notice for a different stadium.

Yes, but where will it be at 7:00 PM on Monday?

Well I am no meteorologist but if the pace of movement stays the same from the projections from Friday2p to Sunday at 2p I would say your looking at the Bahamas around 2pm on Tuesday. With that in mind I would say gametime might see some rain and mild wind. A bonus to us. But Hurrican or Tropical type weather probably won't be around until Tuesday 3-4 am. Your outgoing flight might be the biggest concern.

For Irene, the Monday morning before it hit I was in the clear. On Thursday it was blowing 120 outside my window. You never know what these things are going to do, so no sense stressing this early.

I have some business in central Florida later next week, so I am not flying out right away. Though I can't go to the game if it is on Sunday or Tuesday. I need it to stay on Monday.
 
Listening to NOAA experts talk about Irene, they said ....

We're in a La Nina year which pushes the Jet Steam down & helps spawn hurricanes ... BUT ...

The lower Jet Stream also pushes Hurricanes North, like Irene's path. NOAA spoke about this, as they worried about the NE getting pummeled a couple times this year.

Now, we just have to hope ... 'Mother Nature' got the NOAA Memo!! ... girl's got a mind of her own!!

I'll bet that's Rex's "wrinkly toe" problem, not ours.
 
All of the hurricane models have it going nowhere near Miami. Relax people.
 
I'm not worried about it but....

I would hope the league would monitor this and if it looks like it'll conflict with our game when Friday rolls around, movie it to either Sunday afternoon or Sunday Night and swap the Sunday night game into our slot.

IMO postponing it would just put us and NE at a disadvantage in Week 2.

Most models from this afternoon/evening have it curving out to sea, still too early to tell. But even if it DOES threaten Florida, it wouldn't get there til midweek at the earliest. All those dots, btw are 12 hours apart. Game or not, I'm hoping and praying it doesn't affect anyone on the east coast. You guys on that side of the country have had enough bad weather for a while.
