COVID-19 restrictions in California could force the league to pull the game out of the state and move it to a location that isn’t as locked down.
If that decision is made, Dallas could be a great option.

The NFL should 100% pull the Super Bowl out of California if the state is going to have a bunch of restrictions.
You simply can’t play the Super Bowl in a state that won’t allow the atmosphere to flourish. You can’t do it. Football is meant to be played in front of fans in a packed stadium.

Anything less isn’t acceptable, and if California won’t accommodate the game, take it to Dallas, Florida or somewhere else that would be fun.
Hell, take it to Green Bay and play it outdoors!
