Don’t expect fans at San Jose Earthquakes home games in 2020

The coronavirus pandemic continues to rage on, but California is one of the few states where the spread of the virus isn’t increasing at an officially alarming rate. One could argue the policy to maintain that is to keep doing what we’ve been doing, but human nature is to want to go out and live a little more, and the state announced Tuesday a roadmap to allow counties where certain benchmarks are hit to allow 20 percent capacity at big events and activities like some sporting events.

While some thought Santa Clara County would be among those to open doors to outdoor events, not so fast: The local government announced in short order they had no plans to allow fans into San Jose Earthquakes or San Francisco 49ers games anytime soon.
