Green Alert Take: While it's obviously an intriguing idea that a lot of us have thought about, it is way too early to know what is going to happen with the game. That said, from what I've heard there is somewhere between slim and no chance it will be played at Memorial Field, and at this point is still expected to be played in Florida.
