49ers at Wembley 2013
D-roc:
Band wagon fans Grid., were they talking smack about the win against us?
gridiron49:
No, they were a pretty quiet crowd.
The most disturbing part was the lack of 49er jerseys around this year. I hope it is because it was announced we are going to play next year that 49er fans might have stayed away but I saw far less RED this year than last ??? :(
D-roc:
That is odd considering the hype surrounding the team since H turned it around...
Can't wait to see your pictures!

We didn't go to the tailgate party at Trafalgar Square on Saturday and the game was a letdown (as usual :()
I don't know if it would have been different if the game had been competitive but for a crowd of 84,004 this was an unusually silent game. Loads of people - event Patriot fans - left the stadium at halftime ???

The person filming this must have been sitting some 20-25 metres higher than myself (angle the same)

You don't feel "the hype" over here. The fans are there but the everyday talk is still about soccer ::)
I have very few pics from the game (except a few cheerleader pics)
I think the crowds next year will be more concentrated as "there is something to choose from" so if you have any interest in either matchup you are more likely to go there, so Vikings (plenty this year) and Steeler (not many) will probably be few and far apart next October......

NFL experience still a puzzling, exciting one for Londoners
Sunday's game sold out, and most of the 84,000 fans appeared to be confused, bemused and ultimately enthused. There seemed to be collective puzzlement over the (many) pass interference penalties, the concept of reviewing calls and especially the arrhythmic pacing, as there are no commercial breaks (and, for that matter, few stops in play) in soccer. And there was a sense that the presentational aids -- the "Hip Hop Hooray," the air-canoning of t-shirts, the cheerleaders -- were fun, but took away from the action.
The philistines who crack on soccer because of the paucity of scoring had a good laugh today. Think Manchester United scoring two goals in the first 12 minutes of their game Sunday was a heavy offensive output?
