Due to Santa Clara county banning all contact sports for 3 weeks.
" As it prepares for UW from Seattle hotels and high schools, Stanford aims to ‘relentlessly adapt’:
"In a news conference from an undisclosed hotel in Seattle on Wednesday, Cardinal head coach David Shaw laid out the available details. Last Friday, his administration was informed that Santa Clara County — home to Stanford, San Jose State and the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers — would institute a three-week ban on professional, college and high school sports in an attempt to smother the spread of COVID-19. By Saturday evening, Stanford’s staff was organizing a list of options to present to the school’s administration.
In order to continue its season with a game Saturday at Washington, the 1-2 Cardinal could practice in a nearby county, uproot their entire program to a separate location in California, or arrive in Seattle early and prepare at the road site.
Ultimately, after Stanford president Marc Tessier-Lavigne and UW president Ana Mari Cauce discussed the matter, they opted for the latter — and the team touched down in Seattle on Tuesday, before practicing at the Dempsey Indoor Center later that evening.
“We had no intention of practicing at the University of Washington (on Tuesday),” Shaw said. “But on short notice, trying to find a high school that was available, we just couldn’t do it on one-day notice or a day-and-a-half notice. So Washington said, ‘Hey, you don’t have a place to practice. We’ll give you a place to practice for Tuesday night.’
“Where they are,” unfortunately, will fluctuate wildly from week to week. The Dec. 12 game against Oregon State — which was scheduled to be played at Stanford — has since shifted to Corvallis, Ore., where the Cardinal will likely travel after playing at UW. And, as everyone else in the Pac-12, Stanford is unaware of who it will play (or where) on the weekend of Dec. 19.
[49ers playing out of Phoenix, I believe. San Jose St moved home game to Hawii and flew to Hawaii early.]
