Been a long time since I posted a fan post and I hope to do this right. Maybe this should be a fan shot. Sorry if this is in the wrong area. After one of the craziest most awesome seasons of 49er football I can remember, I have finally bit the bullet and bought myself plane tickets to SF from Albuquerque NM and tickets to the saints game this weekend. Both my mother and myself will be going and its going to be our first 49er game. The mom was the reason I became a 49er fan so its only fitting that we are going to our first game together. The hotel I am staying in is right near Pier 39? not sure where that is but Im told its right by some beautiful areas to check out after the game. Since I am a N00B to the area and well seeing the 49ers play I have Questions for those of you in the Niners nation that have been to games at "The Stick" or plan on going this weekend.

Considering location of my hotel whats going to be my best transport to the game? Not opposed to spending money. Its my first 49er game and I spent $500 ea per ticket so im not holding any expense back. Just bring that up because I want people to know I am not looking for hte cheapest route but rather the most effective.

Also, Any tailgaters doing anything before the game? I want to get a little tailgate on and celebrate our first playoff appearance in 8 years with some good natured and die hard 49er fans. Im a small drinker and will bring a six pack that I am likely to share.

Lastly, whats the weather like? I want to wear shorts to the game to show off my 49er Tattoos but dont want to freeze my @$$ off in doing so. The weather forecast is projecting low 60's which is short weather here in New Mexico but not sure if humidity changes that. I rarely get a chance to show them off too much except to torment Cowboys fans here which is all good and fun... but showing off to fellow 49er fans would be a treat :)
