GO NINERS!!!
They played the Cardinals and it was insane. The Niners fans know how to tailgate. When you pull up to the stadium the roads were blocked off and parking was crazy. When you entered the gates there was a sea of red, white, black and gold. People with their colors worn proud, music bumping from the back of their cars and BBQs full of American foods such as hot dogs, hamburgers and steak! Men with beers in their hands and grill tongs in the other. It was a classic American moment!
When I think back to teaching about American culture in Japan; I think about how this would be the most American moment and something that I could never explain... its a must see!!
Waiting in line to get inside the stadium, fans screamed "NINERS NINERS!!", "Lets go NINERS!!"the anticipation and sportsman ships was amazing and exhilarating!!
But the moment that always takes my breath away is when you walk into the stadium. You walk up this dark corridor and all of a sudden the sunlight hits your face blinding you for a second and when your eyes finally focus the field is spread hundreds of feet down and you can see the side yard marks and the yellow goal fields surrounded by thousands of screaming fans!! Its the most amazing thing to see! Words cant even describe that moment.
The game was great and exciting, however, we left in the 4 quarter to beat the traffic and because the 49ers were loosing. The did lost, but it was an amazing day!!
