Austin's stadium is open air. Totally different situation, imho. The forecast doesn't look too bad to me 30% chance of rain an 12 mph winds... TWC forecast for SAI'm not saying the game will be in San Antonio. I'm just saying that it makes sense to me that they would consider it as an option.

this may be possible. you guys remember when they moved that san diego game to ariozona wihen san diego was on fire?
With Willis and Troy Smith still trying to get well the early bye may not be so bad for the Ravens.
When San Diego played in AZ a few years ago I believe it was free to go. They collected donation from people coming in to go towards victims of the wild fires.

weren't tickets given away free?

I dont think they play anywhere in east or central Texas. Potential power outages, wind damage, traffic snarled etc. It does not make any sense to move the game to SA (IMO) as you dont know what effects will be felt there. If you move the game seems you would want to get it out of the region with problem not to where its not as bad.

Yeah, someone had brought that up earlier - as I recall the stadium was more opposing team colors than Chargers - as most Charger fans in SD had bigger things to worry about.Again, this is still not official via the Texans. they haven't decided anythign yet. But I think we all see there are many options that don't involve canceling a game.

Because top 10 fantasy WRs are such a bad thing to have.

Not a bad move by them.

If you limit your fantasy team because of personal biases, then I am sorry for you.

You are right, I'm cutting Andre Johnson and Todd Heap immediately.Actually I'm not starting Andre because Marshall, Calvin and Jennings can handle the laod this week. Olsen can handle Heap's role.

Speculation is that, if moved, it will be Monday:

It was a joke. Some people just can't see the forest for the trees.I knew someone out there would cry 'I guess Andre Johnson is not fantasy worthy...' And three did. Like moths to a flame.

Isn't that the definition of a troll?
This is likely what will happen, however they have no way of knowing the lasting impact lingering into Monday. (widespread power outages very likely)

Well, I thought it was funny. But then I was also in hysterics last year reading three pages of speculation that Ben Roethlisberger had crapped his pants during warmups.

No. The teams have different byes. It would be a nightmare

I thought it was funny too. I thought the response from the Todd Heap owner was even funnier though. Todd Heap is your shining example of a stud fantasy player from Baltimore?

I'm from Houston and I lived there in 1983 when the last Cat 3/4 hurricane hit the city. There were no widespread power outages then. I grew up about five miles from the Astrodome and don't remember Hurricane Alicia affecting the area around the Dome. Ike will bring high winds and heavy rain, with some power outages possible, but they should be able to get this game in on Monday night. My only concern is potential flooding of nearby Braes Bayou.

I know, they can just have a double header later to make it up!?!?!
In all seriousness, the Cubs play the Astros in Houston this weekend and the Cardinals are on the road. The Stadium staff were informed last night that they need to be ready to work this weekend as MLB has asked the Cardinals to host the series if things get too bad to play in Houston. Rams are at home this weekend so I doubt they play it in St. Louis, but the will play it somewhere and it will be played either Sunday or Monday. NO WAY they move it to another week...

Per Baltimore Sun today:
The Ravens could know by the end of today whether Sunday's game at the Houston Texans is going to be altered. Hurricane Ike is expected to hit the Houston area on Saturday, which could cause travel problems for the Ravens. Flights at Houston airports are expected to be disrupted Friday and Saturday. If the Ravens were unable to travel there until Sunday, the NFL likely would consider moving the game to Monday night. A Ravens spokesman said today there has been no speculation as to whether the game would be moved to another day or site. (Baltimore Sun)
Sounds as if they would reschedule for Monday but it's all speculation at this point. I think someone jumped the gun!

It better be played here. I bought 4 season tickets and they weren't cheap. How do the teams go about refunding these if they don't play at Reliant?

I would bet that would offer you a rebate off next year's tickets at a rate slightly higher than the value of 4 game tickets for that game....
I think Monday would be the best case scenario, if they plan to play it at Reliant. All indications are the storm with hit late Friday night/early Saturday morning. Given travel for the Ravens, all the delayed flights in and outta Houston etc. I could see the Ravens coming in late Sunday for a Monday night game.
