"We're excited to get back to action and to have our team playing games at DICK's Sporting Goods Park once again," said Pádraig Smith, Colorado Rapids Executive VP & General Manager. "Although we will greatly miss having our fans supporting us from the stands, we fully recognize that any scenario involving their attendance must be carefully thought out and prioritize the health and safety of everyone involved above all else. We will continue to work with MLS, national, and local public health authorities to explore the feasibility of safely hosting fans at some point during the season."
A limited amount of accredited media will be allowed to attend Rapids home matches. More information, including details on the application process, will be announced in the coming week.
Earlier today, Major League Soccer announced the 2020 regular season will continue with in-market play starting on August 12 and released the schedule for clubs' next six games. A schedule for additional games and MLS Cup Playoffs will be announced at a later date.
