Looks like no baseball or other sports in at least in California until 2021 or when there is a vaccine;

Governor Gavin Newsom said Tuesday that the prospect of mass gatherings in the state is “negligible at best” until a vaccine is available.
In a state that is home to nearly 20 major pro franchises, Newsom said that “large-scale events that bring in hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of strangers altogether across every conceivable difference, health and otherwise, is not in the cards based upon our current guidelines and current expectations.”

Based on the timeframe they have said for a vaccine which is up to a year and a half away that puts us at September 2021. For a while many of the stadiums have been paying their staff who would normally be working games for the time being. That is not sustainable as there’s no income from fans. If he follows through with this expect another round of massive layoffs from every sports facility, convention center, amusement park or similar facility.

The larger attractions like professional sports (NBA, MLB etc.) Disney and other national music parks will probably somehow survive, however I suspect many of the smaller regional attractions will never reopen at that point. Newsom is insane to think you can cancel a huge portion of your economic activity for almost 2 years With very little repercussions, he’s under some weird illusion that he can say it’s a fine to reopen and magically expect these places to open.
