The 70,000 capacity complex is based in Inglewood, a southwest suburb of the ravaged city.
That is barely miles from where d,e.a.dly blazes are ripping through homes, businesses and causing devastation.
The U.S. Sun understands the NFL are keeping a close eye on the situation.
There has been talk the game could be postponed to a later date if there is any danger to fans or players.
That is not the case at present, but the league could be forced into it if winds move fires towards the stadium.
It is believed discussions have already been held between the two clubs and the NFL.
Those will continue through today (Wednesday), Thursday, Friday and into the weekend ahead of the scheduled game.
Two people have already been k.i.lled by the multiple blazes, with hundreds of injuries reported.
Fires have been ripping through the Palisades area of LA, causing havoc around 10 miles away.
The Santa Monica area, along with Brentwood, Malibu and surrounding suburbs are also under threat.

A separate blaze in Eaton in the Pasadena area has also caused ruin.
That is around 17 miles away from Sofi.
The decision to postpone the game would be made by the NFL.
“Any news about changes to the game would come from the NFL,” a Vikings spokesman confirmed.
Strong winds have made the situation more dire in LA, spreading fires at a rapid rate.
As of this morning, none of the blazes had been contained by the fire department.
That has led to fears of further outbreaks, heading into more residential areas.
The conditions have also been dry, helping the fires to spread more freely.
It is hoped that the winds could start to slow, allowing for more control.
The NFLPA are also monitoring the situation over player safety.
