The Giants had previously pulled all scouts and personnel off the road, and mandated that the majority of employees work from home.
With the team’s facilities now empty, the space could be used by first-responders, medical personnel and/or FEMA in the continued battle against COVID-19. It is something that has reportedly been discussed.
And reporting this isn’t to alarm anyone. Just reporting that the conversations have started about the possibility of needing space there and how to use it, is all. -30-
