YESTERDAYS GAME DAY 49ER RANT BY A LONG TIME SEASON TICKET HOLDER! VERY DISTURBING!

49erJim · 2011-09-19T12:34:27-07:00

I have to say yesterday was a huge eye opener for me as well as I hope the 49ers and Yorks. What I saw was very disturbing to me as a long time 49er season ticket holder of 6 tickets. 1st Off I really would like to thank the genius who planned the crowd control in and out of the parking lot, the gates opened at around 9am and I was there at 8:45am and in bumper to bumper traffic on the 101 fwy dead stopped for 15 to 20 min, backed up for miles on both sides of the freways. Very pissed and mad 49er fans. (way to tick off you already ticked off low fan base and getting lower before they even get into the parking lot!) Then at the tailgate everyone got there late due to the open gate late policy, I hope no one got into a car accident or got hurt! The cowboy fans were already in full force and running a monk in and out of the tailgates and parking lot. (i had a feeling this would end up a bad day for us) Then cops were everywhere and securty jacking people around, you can tell this strong arm has already put a huge damper on the tailgates as well as the crowds. One reason I think a lot of season ticket holders are selling their seats to the other teams fan base and another reason is they are making more money on the tickets because the SF Bay area fans will not pay for them like they use to. (trust me on that) Then we get into the park and the Dallas fans were louder then the 49er fans were. That was really getting on my nerves all game long and I had never seen it so bad as I did yesterday and I have been to a lot of games over the good and bad years. It was embarrassing to say the least. I don't come to watch my NFL team at home to see and hear the other teams fans all game long. It was tough. I thougt over all the game was a good game to watch, did not like the outcome but it is what it is. But then after the game it was worse as I knew it would be, trying to get from my seats to my car was even worse then watching the 49ers lose the way they lost the game. Tons of Cowboy fans ( a lot of fat ones dressed up in that horrible blue and white jersyes with stars all over them) we were all bunched together like cattle trying to squeez by each other and get the hell out of that stinkie place for 20 min all along hearing the chants and cowboy yells like proud cows hoopin it up in all of us 49er fans face! All of us 49er fans were as quiet as a mouse, just trying to get to our cars, while haveing to listen to these people was enough to make me go postal. I did not see any fights at all and or anything that would warant the police to come. So that was a good thing. When I made it back to our tailgate and cars, a cop cars comes by us and tells us to pack up and leave! Were like where the hell are we going to go? its another case of bumper to bumper cars in the parking lot trying to leave and get the hell out of this dump. But there is no where to go, so we all looked at the young skinny cop whos head was way to small for his hat and said ok, he left and never came back, then after waiting an 1/2 hour of so, we got the heck out of there. Over all a crappie day, I think the cracked down on the tailgating has put another nail in the coffin and 49er fans are getting tired of this crap, so thats why a lot of season ticket holders are selling out, They are saying NOW we can't even tailgate? Can't get in to tailgate and can't get out and yet were being hassled by the SFPD to get out and no aftergame tailgating?? Who needs this on a great San Francisco Sunday? People have to hide to try and cook some food or to stay and wait for the parking lot to empty? Yesterday was a long day. I am glad its over and the 49ers are on the road for two weeks. Need time to renew my batterys for that GREAT GAME DAY EXPERIENCE i just paid over $5k in tickets for. Sorry for the long game day rant, but yesterday really takes the cake in my eyes. I could go on and on, but will lets others post away.

man, I didn't want to read the Art of War.

A simple two liner would suffice.

That was weird though.

It seems as if Jerry Jones bought out the stadium or something.

The 9 a.m. starting time is a terrible idea. If it caused the freeway to back up like you said, Jim, I think that they'll have to change it back to the old system.

That sucks! Being rushed out after the game only to have nowhere to go due to traffic log. The entire reason they wanted to go to SC was to give the fan the full Game Day experience but they are already locking down on that themselves.
