As Louisiana’s self-styled “Cajun Navy” mobilized with volunteers and headed to aid in relief efforts for flood-ravaged Houston with anything that would float, it was looking less and less likely that LSU’s football team will be following to play in the bayou city this Saturday.

The Tigers are scheduled to open the season in Houston’s NRG Stadium against BYU.

“The game will be played, it’s just a matter of where,” said LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette.

But Houston isn’t likely.

LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said through an LSU-sponsored radio show Sunday night that “It most certainly, very certain, almost certainly will be moved to another venue.”

Among the options are LSU’s Tiger Stadium and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

But there could be others.

Officials from both schools and NRG reportedly had discussions Sunday. Alleva stressed that the game is run by the Advocare Texas Kickoff Classic and its television partner, ESPN, and that they will make the ultimate decision on where to play.

A final decision is expected today or Tuesday at the latest.

There is no option to delay the game until Sunday — BYU, affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, does not allow its teams to play on Sunday.

Both the Superdome and NRG Stadium are run by the same management company, SMG.

That firm’s vice president, Doug Thornton, said in a statement Sunday that he had let it be known to the parties that the Superdome would be available if needed.

“It’s my understanding that the preference of everyone involved is to try to play the game in Houston,” he said. “But they are looking at all their options at this point in case the game has to be moved. We are standing by.”

The Saints have an NFL exhibition game Thursday night, but Thornton said it would be no problem to turn the Superdome around for a college game Saturday.

He said the dome would need to know by Tuesday in order to staff the game.

LSU has rushed to get Tiger Stadium ready for an unscheduled game before — as recently as 2015, an LSU game scheduled for South Carolina was moved to Baton Rouge just days before the game due to extensive flooding in South Carolina. LSU did not learn until Wednesday before the game that it would host the Gamecocks rather than travel to Columbia. S.C.

NRG Stadium, where LSU has played twice before, did not suffer flooding Sunday, but the surrounding area was flooded hard, plus the stadium is scheduled to be a key staging area in the relief efforts, while the rains and possibly more flooding are forecast to continue well into this week.
