2 am gives you some hard choices. Do you stay up to watch it or do you go to sleep early and get up at 2 am and then have another sleep at 5- 5.30am for an hour or so? Depends if you are working first thing. Worst time for it to start. At least at 4.00am I can sleep early and get up early. I have been in training for a couple of days to sleep early and wake up at 3,50am. Let's hope my training pays off.

Sleep most of the day Sunday...wake up around 1:30am to watch redzone on DAZN with a Canadian VPN or the Niner game if it's an east coast game at 2am

I work at the Yokosuka naval base, so Mondays are sometimes rough...if the Niners play primetime it's on lunch time hours though

Well you have got the most respectable job but you deserve some time out for game time!

We should all just appreciate having fun together as the 49ers keep winning.

Amen Brother!

I'm a season ticket holder and didn't miss a regular season home game last year. There was only one other couple in our immediate vicinity in section 111 who didn't miss a game either. I was irritated that the other season ticket holders around me bailed and sold off most of the single game tickets especially since that meant being surrounded by fans of opposing team's most games. Bears and NY Giants fans were the worst. If I never have to sit by a Giants fan again for the rest of my life I will be better off. That being said, I welcome the band-wagoners and dormant season ticket holders back with open arms. So much better than the alternative.

I've had season tickets since Levi's opened and have not missed a single game. I've sat through every high and mostly lows lol. Feels great to finally turn things around

I couldn't agree more. I think being there during the rough times makes this feel even better.

Maybe they didn't bail at all. I've never missed a game at Levi's (except for those pre-season game 4's) but, until this year we've rarely sat in out seats. We just went down front somewhere or sat w/ friends at the 50. Easy to do in a half empty stadium :)

I MUCH prefer the energy of a packed house. If they're cheering I don't care if they're banwagoners

This. Idc if they're bandwagoners as long as they are cheering loudly on defense and shelling out their hard earned cash for this team.

Damn, OG right here

we all had to start somewhere. glad we picked the niners

We're all bandwagoners. Became fans when the Niners were good. Some just too stubborn and refuse to leave when they were bad.

The question is, who became a fan when they were 0-10 ...

me. I was born at St Lukes brah

That always happens to every winning team in sports. It's why people like Duke basketball. Or Lakers basketball. Ultimately it's much more fun to follow a winning team than it is to follow a losing hopeless team. It's just human nature.

I fell In love with the team as a kid watching the Monday night game with my daddy. Jerry rice catches a pass flying out of bounds but gets a knee down. Cut to Elway who slams his helmet in fury. The rest is history.

We all start somewhere. Just like with anything in life I expect loyalty. We lived through the Cody picket era and I'd like to see one sb of my own before I get super old. ( no offense to the OG's). My god we had Dilfer starting.

We're a new era of fans. I don't hate Dallas. Seattle makes my blood boil. They are the most annoying fans in the league by a million. Who I thought would learn a lesson taught to them by Tom Brady. I guess not. I expect that we will get two chances and I wan to send them home. But theres one thing I really want. Niners fans new and old we win with class and we lose with our heads high. Don't be like hawk fans ever is the number one rule.

If bandwagon fans bother you, the fault is within you, not with them. Your own personal judgements you choose to feel are fueling your ego. If you're unhappy, change your judgements.
