Minnesota United's postponed home game against Chicago because of coronavirus now will be played Nov. 4 while another postponed at FC Dallas hasn't been rescheduled and might never be.
The Loons are not alone in the scheduling challenges.
Seven Colorado Rapids games dating to September have been postponed because of an outbreak within players and staff in a league rethinking everything during a pandemic.
When the regular season ends with "Decision Day" on Nov. 8, not all 26 MLS teams will have played the same number of games — or the same number of home and away games. It's an imbalance that will have the league contemplating formulas to adjust the standings and playoffs in the name of fairness.
On Friday, the Supporters' Shield Foundation announced that it had reversed its decision not to award a silver platter that has been a league tradition since 1999 honoring the regular season's best team.
It did so after reaction from supporters, coaches and players league caused it to reconsider. It decided after a week to present a Supporters' Shield next month despite the imbalances and the fact there are no supporters at games here in the restarted regular season.
Loons coach Adrian Heath isn't certain how the final standings that determine which teams are playoff-bound and which aren't will play out. But he knows it is a subject of great debate.
"I don't know," he said. "I think it's something most clubs are talking about. I can't see unless they extend the season and I'm not saying I heard this. I can't see how Colorado is going to fit all its games in. It's going to be virtually impossible, I think."
