The 49ers have a temporary new home for the 2020 season. The Niners announced they have reached an agreement with the NFL and the Cardinals to play their Week 13 and 14 home games against the Bills and Washington at State Farm Stadium in Arizona.
On Saturday, Santa Clara County, the home of Levi’s Stadium, announced new orders aimed to curb the spread of COVID-19, which included a three-week ban on “all recreational activities that involve physical contact or close proximity to persons outside one’s household.” That left the 49ers without a stadium to play in for their next two home games.
#49ers statement: “The San Francisco 49ers have come to an agreement with the National Football League and Arizona Cardinals which allows the 49ers to host their Weeks 13 and 14 home games against the Buffalo Bills and Washington Football Team at State Farm Stadium in Arizona.”
