Did you know the 49ers have a time travel effect on fans? No joke. When you don’t know the time, your entire day dissolves. You become a ghost in your own living room.
You’ll check your watch. Then three different websites. Then you’ll ask Siri. Then you’ll search Twitter. It’s a modern-day ritual. The answer is always simple, but the search is pure drama.
Here’s a weird rule: If the game is in Santa Clara, it’s at Levi’s Stadium. That stadium has a massive 49ers helmet in the parking lot. You can see it from space. No, really. It’s the size of a small house.
Kickoff at Levi’s is usually 1:05 or 1:25 PM. Unless it’s a night game. Then the fog rolls in. It’s so spooky. The 49ers call the fog their “red zone defense.”
What About International Games?
The 49ers love to play in Mexico City. Or London. Or maybe even Antarctica one day. Those times are wild. A London game starts at 6:30 AM Pacific. That’s not a typo.
49ers Game Today: All You Need to Know
You’ll need to set your alarm. And drink a breakfast beer. It’s okay. It’s for the team. The entire Bay Area syncs its caffeine schedule.
One time, a fan showed up to a 10:00 AM game in full pads. He thought it was a 1:00 PM game. He sat alone in the parking lot for three hours. He said it was his best Sunday ever.
