paddynyc Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/coronavirus-san-jose-sharks-may-have-to-play-in-empty-arena-after-santa-clara-ban-on-mass-gatherings/ Amid increasing concern over the coronavirus outbreak, Santa Clara County health officials announced a temporary ban on all events (both public and private) that would draw large gatherings and possibly spread the virus. That ban, which prohibits crowds of more than 1,000 people, will carry through at least the end of March and could affect multiple San Jose Sharks games scheduled at SAP Center in the coming weeks. The Sharks, who are scheduled to play three home games this month, released a statement following the decision on Monday night: "SAP Center at San Jose is aware of the County of Santa Clara's Public Health Department order to prohibit public and private mass gatherings through the end of March. We will adhere to the mandated guidelines. No events are scheduled at SAP Center until Tues., March 17. We will be reviewing each scheduled event due to take place for the rest of the month and provide an update in the coming days. We appreciate the understanding and patience of our fans, guests and partners during this unprecedented time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
