No worries, man! In this economy, financial considerations would trump all else.

Have fun at the game. I won't be able to make this one, but I am going to game 5 against Arizona at U of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.

i would go...i'll have to see if i have the leave to head up there for 2 days.

SOunds like a great time - I am hella jelous.

going to miss this one. sorry

Hopefully it's not infamously cold at the Stick. I WILL be prepared nonetheless.

I'm too excited for this game. I know a lot of 9er fans feeling confident, even with Alex Smith as their starting QB ahahaha!

in SF but cant afford it.
I can tell you that the black majic voodoo lounge is THE best place for saints fans in the bay. arguably the best saints bar outside of new orleans SF and NOLA have always had a kindred spirit as cities so there are alot of saints fans in the bay. thats where i will be.

oh, and old rivalries never die. i STILL consider the 9ers the enemy.

Ahhh...Candlestick Park. I have a few memories...

Croix de Candlestick...

Throwing stuff at Dodger fans...

Hurricane in the outfield...

Some lady PA announcer...

Porter's windswept home-run...I thought it was a fly-out to 2nd base...

And, oh...that crazy crab...but, here is my favorite Candlestick story...

I decided to take my wife and my 2 nephews to a Giants' game.

I was driving on the exit ramp off the freeway, and I was looking for tickets. I had stopped to ask a few guys, but so far, I had not found what I was looking for.

All the sudden, a cop car pulls up to the passenger side of my car and the cop hollers, "You lookin' for tickets?"

I didn't quite know what to say right then, because I was afraid that he was about to bust me for negotiating with scalpers, or something...

Anyway, I reluctantly answered, "Uhhh...yeah?"

He holds out 4 tickets and says, "Here...I got these."

Now at this point I'm not quite sure what he's up to...so, after a few seconds of deliberation, I respond, "How much do you want?"

He replies, with a rather irritated look on his face, "I'm not selling 'em, I'm giving them to you!"

I reply, "Oh, well in that case...THANKS!"

He drives away, and just as I start to roll my window up, this dude comes walking by and says, "You should give me some money...those were my tickets." I told him, "OK...just wait right there, I'll be right back with your money!"

Anyway, no attempt to hi-jack your thread, StP...I just read these threads and usually just post what's on my mind at the time. Carry-on.

I'm loving this. How times have changed. Now its us in the catbirds seat. While I'm lucky to be going to one game this season, it won't be this one, however you can be assured that the big rig will be parked and I will find a TV somewhere to see it.
