As devastating fires continue ravaging Los Angeles County, Monday’s Los Angeles Rams’ game against the Minnesota Vikings has been moved to Glendale, Arizona, to ensure the safety of both players and audience.
The teams will now face each other at the city’s State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals. The venue is named after insurance company State Farm just months before the fire broke out.
The damages caused by the fires burning through Southern California are expected to exceed $50 billion, J.P. Morgan analysts estimated on Thursday, doubling their expectations from a day earlier.
While it may take some time before the full extent of the cost of the fires will be known, it’s clear that the blazes will be particularly damaging to homeowners who have had their properties burned to the ground and had no insurance on them. It’s the case with several homeowners who did not find alternative coverage after being dropped by their insurers.
