If/when someone or a group decides to sue they won't sue on the basis of it being an act of God which prevented the playing of the game. They'll sue based on the fact that the game was still played, in the same city, within hours (also keep in mind that the "fan ban" is not only in effect for the UK/UGA game, but for all remaining games of the tourny) but the powers that be made a conscious decision to not allow ANY general fans into the game.


They could also work on the basis of not having any type of contingency plan should the stadium not be operational for any reason.

As for the venue, I'm not sure of the stadium capacities of surrounding stadiums, but I believe most people would have been more than happy to travel up to 2 hours or even more to be hosted by a larger stadium to guarantee their admission, especially if they were told "you can go 2 hours away and watch it or we'll have it right here in Atlanta but no fans can enter."

I think it showed a complete lack of preparation of behalf of those who are over these types of decisions. There are numerous "what if" scenarios that could have rendered the venue unusable for a day which would have led to the same confusion.
