Hey Texas Alum,I see the EXACT same thing here. My parents are Massive 49'er (40-whiners)fans and they do the same thing: Kickoff at 3? Tailgate at 830AM. My parents group are well organized--they plan their menus at the end of each season. (All the other 49ER fans who tailgate do the same thing)
I went to the 49er/Oakland game and it was amazing. Those damn Hibachi's were everywhere and you could not escape the smell of bar-b-q ribs.
At the lots here you can't park overnight but at the crack of dawn, the line starts to grow. We also get a LOT of campers/winnies.
I suppose if I were a 9er fan it would be fun..
GO COWBOYS!
