49ers Will Have To Find New Short-Term Home Facility
4 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers practice and play their home games in Santa Clara County in California, which is problematic in light of the decree that came down Saturday that does not allow college or professional sports teams to practice or play contact sports over the next three weeks due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The 49ers play the Rams on Sunday, but then are scheduled to return home for matchups against Buffalo and Washington in Weeks 13 and 14, respectively. At this stage, it's difficult to see a path as to how San Francisco could play at Levi's Stadium, which will likely force the team to have to find a new home venue before kickoff next Monday. How much of a fantasy impact this will have on any players involved remains to be seen, but there's at least the outside chance that the availability of members of the Bills and 49ers could be in question in Week 13 if an alternate venue is not found.
