While the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented fans to attend Quakes matches and sporting events since March 2020, the club has found creative ways to bring local communities into the stadium safely while helping local businesses during these unprecedented times.
Last August, the Quakes teamed up with Orange Theory, a San Jose fitness studio, allowing them to reopen their doors to members in the outdoor environment of PayPal Park. Since their first outdoor session, Orange Theory has recorded over 33,000 visits and conducted over 1,300 classes. Staff would limit a class capacity to 25 members to follow local and state guidance, and even with public nervousness, they would consistently have waitlists of 20-30 people every class.
