Governor Gavin Newsom said he is not anticipating that NFL and college football games will go on as scheduled in the fall due to the coronavirus outbreak.
“I’m not anticipating that happening in this state,” Newsom said Saturday in response to reporter who asked if he believes stadiums will be packed for games in August and September.
“We’ve all seen the headlines in the last couple days in Asia where they were opening up certain businesses and now they’re starting to roll back those openings because they’re starting to see some spread and there’s a boomerang,” Newsom said. “One has to be very cautious here, one has to be careful not to overpromise.”

Newsom said he recently had a conversation with a well-known football player who asked him if he expects to come back.
“I would move very cautiously in that expectation,” Newsom said.
He said any decisions made in California will be based on facts and determined by health experts.
