The San Jose Earthquakes announced their full schedule for the 2017 season and one quick glance shows they have an opportunity to get off to a fast start.
The Quakes will kick off the 34-game season with a home matchup against the Montreal Impact on March 4, followed a week later with another home game against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The Quakes will play four of their first six games at Avaya Stadium.
For a team that was only able to win once on the road in 2016 (1-9-7), taking advantage of the early home-field advantage could be key for San Jose’s quest to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2012.
