I don’t think they have a choice. They have to do something as there’s a literal ban on gatherings. But I’m not sure the punishment for disobeying it.

Indeed, the Santa Clara County order is mandatory. But social media influencers jumping to conclusions regarding future actions does nothing but feed the spread of ignorance & poor judgment in public reactions. I am simply urging fans with a stake in the decision to "follow" what the affected organization is reporting with cautious transparency from the team's position of actual knowledge of the dynamic situation, rather than joining the bandwagon crowd who are looking for instant validation of their worst fears.

I see what you’re saying and ageee. I think John Shannon did a good job of laying out the 4, and probably only 4 options for the NHL and SJ.

This could be a nightmare come playoff time if other cities put in place a similar mandate.

If this was November ...no way Is Seattle govt or Ohio govt telling an NFL team they can’t play in front of fans. The NFL would give them the finger and file a lawsuit and win.

Possibly. But they draw big crowds for their MLS team and that season just kicked off.
