I love being at the stadium, but when I get home I like to see what the TV analysis and commentary was throughout the game.

Watching from the stands is the superior emotional experience. If you've ever been at the Stick for a playoff game or a high stakes nail biter in the regular season, you know what the excitement of the game is all about. There is nothing like standing in a bowl full of 70,000 screaming fans and feeling like you are literally willing your team to victory. On the other hand, watching at home is the superior sensory experience. I don't care where you sit in the stadium, nothing comes close to a big screen high definition TV with surround sound, instant replay, and Tivo.
Bottom line: I do both. Normally, when I go to a game, I'll come home and watch it again on Tivo so I can see what really happened, study the line play, and scream at the refs for the blown calls.

During fall, once I see that 3-4pm sun shining down on the field, it'd be nice to watch at the 'Stick. Come Nov-Dec-Jan, when I see the rainclouds dumping something fierce, I'd much rather watch in the comfort of my home with furnace set at 70 while wrapped up in my 49er snuggie. It sure beats trodging through the muddy parking lot while dealing with 3 hours of traffic trying to get on 101.
It hasn't rained at a Niner home game in years.
Bush Bowl I think......

This. Watch live at the stadium for the atmosphere. Come home and rewatch the DVR recording to gain deeper insights and see the plays from another angle.
Best of both worlds.

I always go to the games at the 'Stick. The electricity cannot be duplictated at home. Though, I do record the games and watch them all later.

Agreed! For me, I love going to the game. It is about being outdoors, lighting up the Q, having beers with some friends, and being around 70,000 cheering fans that makes for a truly great experience... I can always watch it on TV afterwards, since I DVR every game...
