My 1st 49er game I hope is Home Opener for the new stadium, I want to go so bad, but I wanna wait till the new stadium.

I will not attempt to add to this award winning post which should be carved into stone and preserved for future generations

Whenever I build the new stadium on madden (lol, i know) I always name it ( the Nugget), It seems to flow with the 9ers name.

It's funny I have the exact opposite feelings. I live way up in Toronto and have only been to the Stick for a Giants game in the early 90's. I am trying to figure a way to get down there in the next season or two so I can experience a game at Candlestick before it is gone forever.

Do you live in the area? I can't imagine not going when it is so close, but to each his own I guess.

Problem is our SF policticans suck. We had plenty of chances to keep the niners, I blame the damn politicians

That ship has long sailed, the move is a done deal. To those of us who don't live in the Bay Area, we don't really care. I do envy those who have a chance though to see another NFCG on that hallowed field though.

Lol, so I am just hearing of this? It's going to be the Santa Clara Forty Niners? That just don't sound right! Are they going to keep the name of the team? Santa Clara? Crap, that's about another hour from me if that happens.

Candlestick has given me some of the best memories of my life and i hate to see it go...Saturday's game was just another great memory that makes me want to save our stadium!

thoughts?

I say the Stick is pulling out all the magic leading up to its last hurrah. The team has already won a NFC West title if more titles come before the final curtain falls on the Stick then the team carries that magic to the new stadium. I hear what your saying though.

I was yelling at the top of my lungs after last week "WHO NEEDS A NEW STADIUM".... It's hard to think that we wont be going there anymore!!! I thought Candlestick was the best place and stadium on earth forever.... Its when the media started talkign about how bad it was when i realized how bad it was... But hey all I had to compare it to was the Oakland coliseum!!!! So u cant blame me!!
