The real Mr. NFL: East Bay completes quest to visit every NFL stadium
As the 49ers' quest for a sixth Super Bowl continues, an East Bay man recently completed his quest to visit all NFL stadiums.
SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco 49ers have secured a spot in Super Bowl LVIII after winning another NFC Championship, and fans eager to display their Niners pride at the game in Las Vegas on Feb. 11 or from home have the opportunity to do so.
Limited-edition Super Bowl memorabilia is on sale, and the 49ers store at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara will be open everyday for extended hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. until the big game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
"Last night’s victory was an incredibly important moment for our organization, and we couldn’t have gotten here without the Faithful," said Alex Chang, Chief Marketing Officer for the San Francisco 49ers. "We appreciate our fans cheering us on whether it’s from home or in Las Vegas. As we turn our attention to the Super Bowl, we'll be carrying the spirit of the Faithful with us onto the field."
In Santa Clara, 49ers merchandise was already flying off the shelves.
Dr. Thomas Plante, a psychologist at Santa Clara University said, "People love to be part of something bigger than themselves." Adding, "It can be a real transformative experience."
That experience not only transforms lives, but also bank accounts.

Niners back in Super Bowl
It was arguably the greatest sports comeback in Bay Area history when the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game. The Niners now are headed to their eighth Super Bowl.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Matt Malamet from Washington D.C. forked over nearly $500 in gifts for his immediate and extended family.
And this wasn't his first time at the rodeo.
"Spent about $1,000 the other day on NFC championship shirts. And now today, since they won, Super Bowl T-shirts."
For fans aiming to witness the team in action in Las Vegas, they can find information on ticket availability through the hospitality group, On Location, but at a hefty price tag. Niners season ticket holders have been included in a random drawing for the chance to purchase tickets and have been notified via email if they were selected.
