HOUSTON — The flooding from Hurricane Harvey has forced another change in the sports schedule.
BYU and LSU were supposed to play Saturday at NRG Stadium, home of the Houston Texans. ESPN, which is televising the game, announced Monday that the game will instead be played at the Superdome in New Orleans.
Finding a new place to play the neutral site game was in the hands of the network and game organizers who wanted to find a site that allowed convenient access to at least some fans already holding tickets.
