Damnit, I'm In

Just picked up our tickets for Sunday's game on the secondary market. During the past couple of days, we went back and forth trying to decide if we should spend the cash and deal with the Candlestick hassle again, or just watch the game in the comfort of our living room.

Once again, crumbling Candlestick beckoned and we answered. We decided it's too good of an opportunity to pass up. I remember being faced with a similar problem the last time the Niners hosted an NFC Championship game while I was living in San Diego. I decided to skip the game and sell my tickets to set aside some money for the Super Bowl (which was being played in San Diego that season). Besides, the Niners would probably be right back next year...

That was my last opportunity to see the 49ers play for a trip to the Super Bowl.

That was 14 years ago.

Finally, my next opportunity is 4 days away. We couldn't miss this.

We won't.
