The extreme weather conditions could significantly impact the game, potentially affecting player performance and fan safety. The storm's arrival could also disrupt other major events in the region, including a presidential visit, a concert in Auburn, and the National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores. If the hurricane intensifies to a Category 1 or 2 storm, it may force the game to be relocated or postponed, creating logistical challenges for teams, fans, and organizers.
