Day 2 - 49ers game

The second day in California I was planning to go to the 49ers game with Jeremy. We both had never been to a NFL game before in our lives and we weren't sure what to expect. I wanted to get there early, but the commute from San Jose to San Fransisco was not as smooth as one might have expected. We wanted to enjoy some adult beverages at the game, so driving was not one of the options.

On this day, I got to ride the BART (bay area rapid transit) and a shuttle to the game. The 49ers were playing Jacksonville that day and it was a beautiful day to watch the game. It was probably about 21 degrees in the sun, but the stadium was worn down and old. It turns out that Candlestick park is the oldest stadium in the NFL and it certainly showed. I still had a good time, but I doubt I would go back to a 49ers game if I had other options available to me.

Candlestick park holds about 70,000 people. I would guess that on Sunday there were about 60,000 people there, and 50,000 were drunk out of their minds. I even saw a guy being sick all the way down the steps in the upper section in which we were sitting. American love their football and they also love their beer. The 49ers won the game 20-3.
