Inquiries like this are common, iterated Brian McCarthy, a spokesperson for the NFL. He went on to say that contingency plans are made every year for the Super Bowl:
"We plan on playing Super Bowl LVI as scheduled at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday Feb. 13," stated McCarthy.
"As part of our standard contingency planning process that we conduct for all regular and postseason games, we have contacted several clubs to inquire about stadium availability in the event we cannot play the Super Bowl as scheduled due to weather-related issues or unforeseen circumstances."
"Our planning process for the Super Bowl in Los Angeles is ahead of schedule and we look forward to hosting the Super Bowl there to culminate another fantastic NFL season for our fans and clubs.”
