California wildfires cause the cancellation of numerous sports events this week. The Los Angeles Lakers preseason game Thursday night against the Utah Jazz was cancelled.
The wildfires have caused approximately 346,000 homes in San Diego County to be evacuated.
The BYU-San Diego State college football game Saturday night was postponed until Dec. 1 because Qualcomm Stadium is being used as an evacuation center for residents displaced by wildfires.
San Diego State athletic director Chuck Schemmel, coach Chuck Long, defensive coordinator Bob Elliott and offensive coordinator Del Miller were among 40 people on SDSU's athletic staff who had to evacuate their homes.
All other SDSU athletic events will be postponed or moved to alternate sites.
The Mountain West Conference men's and women's cross country championships, originally scheduled for Saturday at Mission Bay, will be moved to Albuquerque, N.M. The cross country championships also were moved from San Diego to Albuquerque in 2003 due to wildfires.
The San Diego Chargers game against the Houston Texans is supposed to be played in Qualcomm on Sunday, but the NFL is still in talk about what to do.
