College GameDay Moves Indoors Ahead of Alabama-Georgia

ESPN’s College GameDay is scheduled to broadcast from inside Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa on Saturday, October 10, after the network moved the show indoors because of forecast severe weather. The program is set to begin at 9 a.m. ET and will preview the Alabama-Georgia football matchup, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. The indoor move was announced by ESPN, according to reporting on the decision. Coleman Coliseum is on the University of Alabama campus. The switch changes the show’s customary outdoor setting, where students and fans gather around its broadcast set, but the sources do not establish whether the Saturday program ultimately took place as planned. Alabama athletics said it was monitoring the forecast and coordinating with the National Weather Service, the Southeastern Conference and the University of Georgia. The university said the safety and well-being of players, coaches, staff and fans were its highest priority. It reported that kickoff remained scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Central Time, equivalent to 7:30 p.m. Eastern, while conditions were being monitored. The available information does not confirm whether the game proceeded or whether its schedule changed.
