The current wildfires are among the most destructive in Los Angeles’ history.
Arizona has a history of hosting displaced California teams for games. In 2020, State Farm Stadium hosted the 49ers for three home games during the COVID-19 pandemic. Back in 2003, the Chargers played a game against the Dolphins at Sun Devil Stadium due to poor air quality caused by fires in Southern California.
