Attendance at 49ers home games this season

I also went to the Seattle game and the stadium was pretty full, id say 85% maybe 90

But for some reason, for each home game this season, I have noticed that the stands dont begin filling up until 2 or 3 minutes in to the 1st quarter. I have wondered about this because I remember going to games 15 years ago or so (when I lived in the bay area) and I remember the stadium being packed 30 minutes prior to kickoff.

Is there a reason for this Faithful? Getting beers? Food? Parking messed up? People leave their houses too late? Delayed in packing up the tailgating party? Not having a very good team moving close to a decade now? I don’t know….but I have been curious about this.

The stadium never is completely full, but there is good attendance. The main reason for the drop off in attendance has got to be due to the drop off in performance over the years for the Niners. On the bright side, tickets are easily scalpable every game for $20 or less.

the only game that blew me away was the bears game. That was the 1st game I have attended that had sooo many opposing teams fans. I mean seriously, everywhere I turned I saw blue and orange. There was even a point in the game when the stadium chant of “Lets go Bears” began, it was very loud and clear as to what the chant was. I was underneath the Jumbotron and the closest niner was 3 rows down, I went with 12 buddyies, who are ALL bears fans.
The only person that high-fived me everytime the niners did something good was some girl(cute), right in front of me. She was there with her BF(who was a bears fan), she just went for the company because later in the game she told me that she was a Packers fan.
I’m just glad the niners won, because that just gave me more people to bash at the end of the game. I just don’t understand how I watch games on TV, and the stadium is filled with home team fans, visiting team fans are scattered here and there, but in San Francisco it seems like 1 in 5 is a visiting teams fan. Oh well, obviously its something I can’t fix, as long as cute girls sit in front of me to high-five I’m cool with it……….

I was there on Sunday and there were more no-shows that any home game this season. Jags aren’t a big traveling team and it seems in most stadiums now there are always a bunch of seats occupied by the road team. Understandable in the current economy and with many people preferring to watch from home unless the product on the field is worth the high ticket price.

As working for the media, I get to go to the home games and I’m there well over an hour before kickoff.

Stadium doesn’t fill up that well as it used to, probably because team isn’t that good. Sunday’s game was about 75% full (blame it on tailgating, Thanksgiving weekend, whatever)

There are no blackouts and people tend to file in later. 80-90% full most of the time.

Candlestick is kinda a piece of crap

And plan on continueing to go to every game… I have not sat in my seats once this whole year and have been kicked out of someone elses seat only once… So the stand is nowhere near packed..there open seats everywhere… but i must say WE HAVE BEEN GETTIN LOUD THIS YEAR!!! fans have been real loud and i love it… I have no voice at work today or yesterdfay because of the game.
GO NINERS
