How practical would it be to switch games? Play in LA this week and play in Seattle in week 9?
I have no idea. We don't know how long this ban is going to last. It could affect the remainder of Seattle's home games
Just think trying to vet a new venue on a few days notice could be a mess. As much of a logistical nightmare as it would be it might be safer to give LA the game this week and start making plans for week 7 in a stadium outside of Seattle.
RIP Xtreme; forever champions

RIP Wildcats; forever 2-3

They will have to quickly find a neutral site to play. Sacramento, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, San Diego, etc.

The other option is to move the game to LA. Remember, this is a division game so they still have another match against the Wildcats later in the season, which they can then reschedule for Seattle in the hopes that the virus is contained or has run its course by then. It will at least buy some time.

I have read that seems unlikely and this could also affect the NCAA and NFL seasons. I find that hard to believe, but who knows.

Update:
They've decided to play in an empty stadium. What a flipping waste.
