49ers will play remaining home games in Arizona

After hoping to make Arizona only a temporary residence, the San Francisco 49ers will play their remaining home games in The Copper State.

All hope for the San Francisco 49ers to return to Levi’s Stadium this season is gone. They will play all of their remaining home games at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. according to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner.

The 49ers were forced to find a new home when Santa Clara County shutdown professional sports a few weeks ago. Hoping to return at some point later in the year, the team temporarily relocated to the home of the Arizona Cardinals, but it appears they will remain there through the end of the season.

San Francisco played their Week 13 and Week 14 contests at State Farm Stadium. They’ll head to AT&T Stadium in Dallas for Week 15 before returning to State Farm Stadium to face the Arizona Cardinals in a Cardinals home game. There was some chance they’d return to Levi’s Stadium for Week 17 based on the original timeline put down by Santa Clara County. Now with the ban on contact sports extended beyond the original Dec. 21 deadline, the 49ers will play their last game against the Seattle Seahawks in the desert to finish the year.
