The move to close their facility comes in the wake of Monday’s announcement by the league that the season would be pushed back until at least mid-May in accordance with new CDC guidelines restricting gatherings of 50 or more people. The closure of the complex means that players, staff and, personnel cannot work out at the facility for the time being.
