The San Jose Earthquakes have taken a big trip to Cancún, Mexico the past two preseasons, a trip that appears to help set the tone and give the team a chance to bond together away from the spotlight.
This year, with the complications of the coronavirus pandemic, it doesn’t look like there will be a trip back to Cancún, but the Earthquakes have still hit the road, as they’ve gone south and are in the middle of a two-week training stint together in Santa Barbara.
Tommy Thompson was pretty impressed with the surroundings, and if you’ve ever visited Santa Barbara (I once watched a friend get married right on the beach there, it was magical) you know it’s a pretty, pretty nice place.
