The crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas made their preferences clear during "Super Bowl Opening Night," showing a distinct favoritism towards the San Francisco 49ers over the Kansas City Chiefs. The contrasting receptions for each team's top tight ends, Travis Kelce and George Kittle, were evident.
As the players were introduced, boos rained down on Travis Kelce while George Kittle basked in cheers from the crowd.
A surprised Kelce responded, saying, "You all are firing me up, make me want to play right now, baby. I love the boos more than I love the cheers, baby. You keep them coming, Niner Gang. Keep them coming."
In a playful exchange, Kittle was asked to choose the better tight end between himself and Kelce, but Kelce interjected and answered on behalf of the 49ers star player.
The 49ers and Chiefs will play Super Bowl 58 at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday.
