wjag Posted November 29, 2020 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. Edited November 29, 2020 by wjag 1 2
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 What about the old raiders stadium?

TigerJ Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 I didn't see that one coming. Commissioner Goodell is probably pulling his hair out over that one.

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
wjag Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Just now, TigerJ said: I didn't see that one coming. Commissioner Goodell is probably pulling his hair out over that one. yep. 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.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 NFL may need to start thinking about a bubble for the Rest of the season, or at least for the playoffs.
wjag Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Imagine the teeth gnashing on the 9ers fan boards. If this happened to Buffalo, this site would melt down. 🙂 2
DQW87 Posted November 29, 2020 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
NewEra Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Luckily, they probably won’t change it to Buffalo. I’d hate to play the niners in buffalo on a rainy and windy evening
Chicharito Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Great the last time we ran into a team that couldn’t “practice” we got our butt handed to us! 2 1

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?
