That means the Dolphins, Saints and Colts, respectively, wouldn\u2019t be able to play in their stadiums and will have to play on the road on those dates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe certainly considered the tour dates that hit NFL stadiums,\u201d Mike North, the NFL\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: 'Pipeline' to Obama Admin Seen as 'Currency'\">vice president<\/a> of broadcast planning, said. \u201cI think she\u2019s in Miami, maybe New Orleans, Indy.
