Arizona 9er Empire Tailgate... Something great there...
So this past weekend, I was in Glendale, Arizona for the game. After arriving at the phoenix airport and being picked up by my good buddy Gary, we spent the next few days looking forward to the tailgate.
Game Day came upon us rather quickly, and boy was there a takeover.. As we arrived to our meeting spot at 7:30am the parking lot was already a Sea of Red... Not that red of Failure known as Cardinal red, but the faithful red. At approx 845am we rolled out, and it seriously looked like a funeral procession for the soon to be Ex-NFC Champions. Car after car after truck after car we all rode onto the 101 on the way into the stadium lot. As you see in the Weekly picz section... Canopy after Canopy the 49ers Fans had finally arrived at the Blue Parking Lot.
The official count was somewhere between 170-200 49ers fans. Cases of Beer, Jungle Juice, Kegs all put on ice... Music blaring... Flags and banners set up.. The Cardinals fans who were at first the only in the Parking lot all the sudden knew we had arrived. After a little bit over an hour of the fans having a great time, the caterer showed up. Steak... Chicken... Bratwurst... all cooked for the fans.
Even Hall of Famer Bob St. Clair showed up to the tailgate to spend some time with the fans.
I give mad respect to all the fellow 9ers fans out there... but Gary, Alex and Ramon from Az 9er Empire have officially outdone themselves as a club. I have been to many tailgates, yes in the bay area its insanity.. but to be able to pull this off at an away game was a feat.. Simply massive and a good time was had by all. All the hard work put in by these guys should be appreciated by all.
Thanks guys...
