The Los Angeles Rams' NFL Wildcard matchup with the Minnesota Vikings was moved from SoFi Stadium.
Wildfires have raged across Los Angeles in recent days, burning 10,000 homes and killing 10.

The Rams confirmed on Thursday that the playoff will continue despite the ongoing disaster.
“The safety of the Los Angeles community is our top priority,” the team wrote in a statement.
“Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the fires in the area.
“We are grateful for the tireless efforts of our first responders who continue to protect our city and community as well as the individuals who continue to help our neighbors in need.”
The organization later explained that the game would be moved away from the city “in the interest of public safety.”
Monday's showdown now takes place at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale, Arizona.
Ramez stressed that “the decision was made in consultation with government officials, participating clubs and the American Football Association.”
The game will kick off at 5pm PT, and ticket holders for the game will “receive either a refund or a credit toward their season tickets for next season.”
Those who want to purchase a ticket to watch the game live in Arizona can do so starting at noon PT on Friday.
This is not the first time Arizona has been the site of another California team to play due to wildfires.
Tempe Sun Devil Stadium hosted the San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins in a regular season game in 2003.
The Rams practiced in Los Angeles on Thursday, where smoke was seen billowing over their facility in Woodland Hills.
Players were also able to skip media obligations so they could return home after a new fire, according to NFL Network.
“Obviously, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by these fires,” Rams coach Sean McVay said.

“It's one of those deals that almost doesn't seem real, but it's definitely real for the people affected by it.
“I pray that as many people as possible are OK, and just seeing how many people are affected, it's one of those deals that gives you perspective.
“Hopefully they can get these things under control. It's been a unique week.”
'WAR ZONE' Los Angeles feels 'broken' as fires continue to ravage the city – but we will rebuild
Katie Forrester, assistant editor of US Sun Exclusive, is based in Los Angeles and witnessed first-hand the horror as the flames swept through the city. She said the city looked like a “war zone.”
Every year Los Angeles braces for wildfires. It is not uncommon to see flames burning in the hills and even houses burning to the ground.
But many residents have never experienced anything as devastating as this week. And it's nowhere near the end.
I spent some time near Pacific Palisades, where thick smoke filled the air, and saw desperate families fleeing the city while others begged police to let them access their properties after roads were closed.
The phrase “it's all gone” has been heard many times, with thousands of people left homeless and with little possessions.
I was lucky that the power only went out at my house, but I will never forget what I witnessed as I walked around the city.
It was like a war zone.
During my visit to one shelter, I spoke with a resident who has lived in his home for nearly 30 years and is suffering from cancer. He stayed a long time after he was told to pack up and go.
Only when flames started rising around his building did he finally gather his belongings and run out.
I reported from Altadena, where buildings were still smoldering, there were only a few fire engines in sight and emergency services were overwhelmed.
Cars and school buses were completely engulfed in flames, and grieving families stood in shock, unable to comprehend what had happened.
As the sun set, I headed home toward downtown, which felt safe, until I saw orange flames leaping behind buildings just minutes from my house.
I felt sick. I've never seen wildfires so close to Hollywood, and all of a sudden, the phones were going off with emergency notifications to evacuate the area.
Traffic lights and street lights were out, and areas filled with fallen trees due to strong winds were closed.
I feel very lucky to live minutes outside the evacuation zone, but friends panicked and fled their homes.
Although many people around the world will shrug when they hear that wealthy people have lost their homes, the reality is very different.
The city as a whole feels broken, everyone from single mothers to the elderly have been through hell.
And people are angry.
Dozens spoke of canceling their insurance policies just months before the fires, while others suffered from alleged corruption and mismanagement.
They may be angry. But they are also optimistic. The people of Los Angeles are made of tough stuff.
We will get through this. We will rebuild.
The Rams enter the playoffs strong after a 10-7 regular season.
They went 5-1 through December but will face a tough challenge against the 14-3 Vikings.
