Breaking news:David jay ;Cheated on his girlfriend after the match

The Niners faithful put aside any game-day worries on Saturday evening as they congregated at fan parties, like the one hosted at Splash Supper Club, a night lounge off the Las Vegas Strip

.

1. Sacramento resident Fran Thompson, 54, was there to celebrate her birthday, and her favorite team making it to the big game.
2. I’ve been a Niners fan since I was 12. I used to hear my family screaming in the living room about football,” said Thompson, who has been a season ticket holder for a decade. “I’ve been very faithful. This is so awesome to be back in the Super Bowl. I hope we beat Kansas City this time. We almost had them last time, and we’re gonna do it this time.”
3. The championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers kicks off Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time. But super fans have been attending events all weekend to get hyped and hang close to the action.

   Some, like Joe Leonor, who organizes the Niner Empire fan club and helped put together the event at Splash, don’t plan to go inside Allegiant Stadium on Sunday. Tickets were too expensive, Leonor said, and he’d rather be watching the game alongside the people he tailgates with for every other game.

5. I’ve never been inside a Super Bowl. If tickets were given to me, that would be cool. But I really want to be around my people. We put in the work throughout the season and those are the people I want to sit with,” Leonor said.

   Also having a drink with friends at Splash on Saturday evening was Rey Pena, the official 2022 49ers “Fan of the Year.” Several years ago, at age 30, Pena was diagnosed with cancer in his right eye, which had to be removed to stop the disease from spreading. But he didn’t let that dampen his enthusiasm for his favorite team. The Manteca resident, aka “Eye of the Niner,” now has an unmistakable prosthetic eye with a 49ers logo front and center.
