Sunday afternoon game. Barring any updates in the status if Delemea, Buttner, Gil and Caciedo I suspect we see the same starters as the Chicago game. Have not read any updates on their health yet. None of them made the bench. I think Gil and Caciedo are the only real starters, maybe Buttner as well. Revs need to take 3 playing at home for the second game in a row. Weather at the moment is partly cloudy and 47 around game time.
I watched Portland versus Nashville last weekend, and 90% of the time, Nashville was the better team. Portland is not looking good this year, at all. Of course, the Revs have started this year with a super soft schedule, and have nothing yet to show for it!

With about 10-15,000 people in a stadium that seats 68,000, we could all practice social distancing pretty easily. Though I admit the Fort might lose its effectiveness spread across the upper level.
What are they doing in Italy, are they playing behind closed doors or just postponing games until later in the year? EDIT: Closed door matches for now, possibly suspending the whole season. Lots of things very much up in the air
Forget Italy - try San Francisco -- banning 'mass gatherings' where 'mass' means more than 1,000 people. Golden State Warriors playing in an empty arena. So many colleges suspending spring sports all together, NCAA March Madness to be played to empty arenas as well. Have to think that is not too far away for every sport. (No matter how sparse the crowd relative to the size of the stadium....)
Saw a clip where Arena was asked about the virus......Question: "What would it be like playing a game in an empty stadium?" Arena: "we played one of those last week?" I love Arena's humor ......sometimes.. Win a few and they will come..... Unless RINO Charlie stops it
NBA shut down until further notice. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...ther-notice-player-tests-positive-coronavirus
Ha ha! I love Bruce. It was a little dig at us fans to get our asses out there. We deserve it too. For all the support we claim to give, all that NETID and stuff, we are pretty tepid in terms of getting out there in the stands (as opposed to some teams), no matter what the weather or the day.
I'm a little surprised we haven't heard anything at all from the Revs about this. I wouldn't be surprised if they opt for postponement rather than playing in an empty stadium.
I'm really looking forward to game, but I'm really worried that it will be cancelled/postponed/closed. I missed the home opener because of vacation, so this is/would be my opener.
....and there it is: MLS is suspending its season immediately until further notice due to coronavirus, a source with knowledge of the situation tells Sports Illustrated.— Subscribe to GrantWahl.com (@GrantWahl) March 12, 2020
I was gonna say that I'm really glad I went to the first game because I don't know when I'll be able to go to another, but then I was thinking, I hope nunna yinz were sick last week! Hopefully this will blow over soon and we'll be back to "normal" before long. On the bright side, at least Carles Gil's foot will have time to heal before the next game. Stay safe!
