Let’s just say, for the moment, that the index is 250 at game time in Inglewood.
What about the people that live 3 miles away in their own homes? Should they evacuate? Or the nice folks in Lomg Beach, Orange County, or Covina? Should they evacuate because of ‘unhealthy air measurements? And if not, why not?
Here's an air quality map of LA as of 9am today:
... and here's a chart that explains the various air quality ratings:
As far as the people who live in that red area are concerned apparently they can stay home of they want to. Based just on what I read in mtrmafan's post I would be elsewhere or at least taking some serious precautions if that wasn't feasible. But those folks are out of the NFL's jurisdiction.
I assume that the NFL will concern itself only with the health and safety of the players and the fans who attend the game. And to be clear, they haven't said they are moving the game. They said they have contingency plans if conditions warrant a move.
Current forecast say that the AQI will be 53 (barely into the yellow) on Monday - conditions are expected to be fine by game time so this is mostly a hypothetical discussion. But hypothetically, if game time conditions were maroon (from the above chart) would you want the game to stay in LA?
