San Francisco 49ers

Growing up in Sacramento in the 90's you couldn't help but  root for the San Francisco 49ers with Steve Young and Jerry Rice.  They were good and it was fun.  However, I also grew up a New England Patriots fan.  My dad is from Chatham, MA and he taught my brother and I how to be a Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics fan.  

Fast forward a number of years and insert Nathan, a die hard Niners fan.  In the past few years the Niners have finally become relevant again and Nathan couldn't be happier.  On a whim I bought my super cute husband two tickets to the San Francisco 49ers v. Chicago Bears Monday Night Football game in San Francisco.  Nathan had never been to a NFL game and he was pretty excited for it.  Saturday we drove down to Sacramento, spent Sunday in San Fran with my family and went to the game Monday Night.  We were blown away by the number of tailgaters and how good our seats were.  We were 10 rows back from the corner end zone, close enough to see the faces of the players.  We also had the chance to see Jerry Rice who was there promoting a kids foundation and Steve Young who was doing the broadcast for Monday Night Football.

We ended up parking in the back parking lot, in the back of that parking lot, and in the very back corner of the back parking lot.  Needless to say when the game was over we knew we weren't going anywhere for a long time.  We walked over the other side of the field and watched Steve Young,  conduct an interview with Colin Kaepernick.  Speaking of, Kaepernick played an awesome game for his first NFL game as a starting quarterback.  The Niners killed the Bears and we can't wait until we can go again.
