wjag Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) So there is actually more to this story. Anyone traveling in to the county beginning Monday will be subject to a 14 day quarantine. So if the Niners leave to play somewhere else after this weekend , they too would need to quarantine. So Frisco needs a new home for at least the next three weeks outside of Santa Clara and Mateo counties. That’s at least my read from the CBS Sports take on it.

The team will probably have to rent out a hotel and have meals brought in, all of which seems as if it elevates the risk of COVID-19 for the players and staff versus being able to stay at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not knowing where the players live, they might not be able to play if they live outside the counties and go home at night. They might have to bubble the team for the next three weeks. Or bubble players and staff that live outside Santa Clara and Mateo counties. They have home games with Buffalo and the WTF (deliberate) teams. Then the sticky one of @Dallas.

DQW87 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Funny that it can't be in Buffalo because of 9 home games even though its a completely empty stadium. I get it, because of the travel factor for SF, but NFL has no problem with some teams getting 25,000 fans at home and others having none. That's not fair at all either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are playing in your own stadium you know the oddities of the field, your staff handle facilities (very important in one statement when helmet radio goes out earlier or continues depending if you are home team or visitor, you do not need to spend time traveling, you can sleep in your home without worrying about someone pulling a fire alarm and usually home locker room is better than opponent one.

I agree. Home-field Advantage still matters. But not like it did when there were fans in the stands. Maybe it was worth 3 points before and just one point now?

gonzo1105 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 This game has to be in Oakland. Old Stadium there that can host a football game, in Alameda County, short trip for the 49ers etc. Just makes too much sense to practice and play there.

They probably still have the baseball field configuration in that dump of a stadium. If they want to keep it on the west coast LA or LV would be the top choices. Otherwise the backup stadium is Detroit, since there hasn't been NFL football home team there in years but the field is ready to go. 5 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: With it being on Monday, it provides the option of using a different nfl stadium. NFL will probably push for LA for more exposure of that stadium I just looked at the schedules, moving to Arizona, they never conflict with the Cardinals games. Closest they come is next week, Az home Sunday, then the Bills game would be Monday night. Good weather location, but not stifling like in Sept and out of the state of Cal as more restrictions may come elsewhere like LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is either going to have to leave the Bay area to practice or agree to create a bubble for the team themselves, or don't practice at all. Probably they will have to leave town. I'm wondering if other parts of Cal will follow suit. Kind of funny too read a story about 3 weeks ago, the owner of Golden State was going to spend like $30 mil to have 50% capacity at home games by rapid testing everyone prior to the games. He explained how it was a well thought out medically proven plan as they need to have some fans at games as can't afford the revenue losses Thought from a PR standpoint this will look good. Spend $400 on an NBA game ticket and we'll give you test and you won't need to wait in line for 5 hours here. Guess his idea isn't going anywhere now.
