FEMA says 73% of NFL stadiums are accessible by public transportation.<\/p>\n<p>The stadiums that will become Mission Ready Venues are: MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, home of New York&#8217;s Jets and Giants: Lumen Field in Seattle, home of the Seahawks; Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, home of the Steelers; Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, home of the Buccaneers. SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, home of the Rams and the Chargers, is under review.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stadiums are valuable community assets that are often used in times of disasters,\u201d said NFL Chief Security Officer Cathy Lanier, who was also the former Chief of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department. \u201cThis designation reflects the role that many stadiums play, not only on Sundays, but especially in times of need. We are proud to work with FEMA and first responders at the local and state level to ensure disaster response agencies have the information and tools they need to help a community recover when disaster strikes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
