Believe it or not, ALOT of Saints fans show up for it too. Then, of course you get to hang out in one of the most beautiful cities in the world afterwards.

Not to mention, having some more Saints fans out here, always helps the cause.

Just wondering, since you mentioned, "The Stick", if you possess a ""croix de Candlestick" or ever got to witness the "Crazy Crab" do his thing?

Nah, I've never been to a Giants game. They moved over to At&t Park, on the Embarcadero years ago. VERY NICE facilities, right next to the Bart station, so you can get there really easy.

The first game I went to at the stick was Saints/49ers, back in 99. Great tailgating, and just a historic park all the way around. Some of the fans are bad, but overall, they are all pretty cool.

I lived out there in Mountain View for a while...I got to go to a few games. Had a cop pull 4 tickets from a scalper one time and pull up next to me and ask me if I was looking for tickets. After a long pause of wondering what he was up to, I finally answered, "Yeah, why?"

He says, "Cause I got 4."

Another long pause, and I'm like, "Well...how much do you want for them."

He says, "I'm not selling them...I'm giving them to you." For a second there, I thought I was about to go to jail.

Then the scalper walks by right as the cop drives away and says, "You should pay me for those...he got them from me."

I was like, "OK...got to go to the ATM first...wait right there."

I hope he didn't wait.

Mountain View huh? I've been to alot of concerts there. Saw Ozzfest twice, and most recently, I went to the Mayhem festival. Terrible sound there though.

Yeah, I used to drive right by At&t on my way to work, and the scalpers would literally come up to my window trying to sell me tickets. Either that, or ask for change.
