never too early to get amped up.
Some fans in San Jose just couldn't wait for Saturday,
so they woke up bright and early
and got that pregame party started
or Sean Chitnis was there.
49ers faithful were up early on Friday
and they wanted to make sure everyone was awake with them.
We show up no matter where we go.
We travel, like it's always a big crowd.
It's early in the morning,
but we're used to getting up early.
Desiree Herrera is a member of the group 408 Faithful.
She's been a fan for 35 years
and her family are fifth generation members of the Faithful.
She had to work on Friday,
but that didn't stop her from starting her day
at Sushi Confidential in downtown San Jose.
Fans had a DJ and plenty of entertainment
to keep them going in the early hours.
Sake!
Niners!
Another!
Boo!
The owner even offered up sake bombs to the group.
Among the fans this morning,
a former player who said the team is looking good
for Saturday's game.
The fans are in it.
I want to make sure our players
are going to have fun tomorrow.
Hold on the ball early, get your lead,
and then coast your way in for the win.
Joining him bright and early,
members of the Gold Rush, 49ers cheerleaders
who have been with the team all season.
I feel like we're a part of making history here.
We're part of something much bigger than ourselves.
This is a winning team.
Experiences like this are just what the team wants to see
around the Bay Area all season
and especially during the playoffs,
since they know everyone can't make it to Levi's Stadium.
We want to get together with the fan base,
with the Faithful, and really create
that electric atmosphere that we're going to have
in the building as well.
Sushi Confidential owner, Randy Musserer,
brought everyone together and wanted to show
just how good the Faithful are feeling
about their matchup with the Packers.
The energy level has been tremendous.
You never know what's going to happen at 5 a.m.
A morning that was well worth it
for fans who never stop for their team.
We do a lot of things for the community
and we just like to represent the 49ers
and our 408 Faithful,
because ain't nothing better than being faithful.
And all of that really just the start
of celebrating and cheering on the 49ers
as they get ready to play Green Bay.
There will be an official rally tonight in San Jose,
and then tomorrow there are watch parties
all over the Bay Area in San Francisco,
San Jose, as well as Oakland.
