California Gov. Gavin Newsom outlined a plan with multiple stages to reopen the state, focusing on essential businesses first and also noting when sports games — with and without fans — would come.
That is of particular interest for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the prospect of potentially playing a portion of the 2020 Major League Baseball season at Dodger Stadium. Newsom had previously cautioned against the expectation of games being played with fans in attendance.
“The prospect of mass gatherings is negligible, at best, until we get to herd immunity and we get to a vaccine,” he said during a recent daily address.
