>Devin>ALL RIGHT, VERN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT. SO FANS TONIGHT FILING OUT OF LEVI'S STADIUM MAY BE STUCK IN SOME POST-GAME TRAFFIC AFTER THAT SEASON OPENER AGAINST THE JETS. AND IT WAS A LONG TIME COMING FOR THE FAYETTEVILLE WHO HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR A CHANCE TO CHEER FOR THIS TEAM AFTER THE WAY THAT LAST YEAR ENDED. CARRA SAINT-CYR SPOKE WITH SOME OF THEM AHEAD OF WHAT IS EXPECTED TO BE ANOTHER GOOD YEAR HOPEFULLY A GREAT YEAR AT LEVI'S >Reporter>STADIUM. >>KARA >>WHAT A GAME. WHAT A GAME. LEVI'S STADIUM WAS PACKED WITH PEOPLE CHEERING THE 40 NINERS ON TO VICTORY, BUT IF YOU TALKED TO FANS, THEY SAID THEY EXPECTED THIS AND THEY ACTUALLY PREDICTED THIS WIN FROM THE START >Reporter>KANSAS CITY WHEN THE CHIEFS NARROWLY SKATED TO VICTORY LAST YEAR, CHRISTIAN ROJAS AND SEAN TATUM FELT THEIR HEARTS BREAK. IT'S A NEW YEAR. WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. THE SUPER BOWL WIN WAS SO CLOSE. BOTH COULD TASTE IT AND THE PAIN RAN DEEP. YOU KNOW, I WENT THROUGH IT ONCE. I WENT THROUGH IT AGAIN TO THE CHIEFS. YOU KNOW YOU GOTTA YOU GOTTA LET IT GO. YOU GOTTA LET IT GO. AND YOU GOTTA KNOW THE MISTAKES YOU MADE. COME BACK TAKE OVER AND LET THEM KNOW WE GOT TO GET BACK IN THIS THING. AND WE GOTTA, WE GOTTA DO WHAT WE GOT TO DO. AND THAT'S BANG BANG CHRISTIAN SAYS THE PAIN NINERS FELT LAST YEAR HAS BEEN REPLACED BY OPTIMISM, AND HE BROUGHT ALL THAT PRIDE TO THE TAILGATE THIS AFTERNOON FANS THIS YEAR WANT ONE THING AND THAT'S REDEMPTION CHRISTIAN AND SEAN SAY THE NINERS ARE STRONGER THAN EVER, AND THE ENERGY AT THIS YEAR'S SEASON OPENER WILL FUEL THAT SUCCESS. EVERY GAME IS IMPORTANT. YOU GOT TO COME OUT, YOU GOT TO EXECUTE. YOU GOT TO GIVE IT TO THE TO THEM FROM THE JUMP AND LET THEM KNOW HOW WE PLAY. BANG BANG. BUT NOT EVERY TAILGATER WAS FILLED WITH A BLINDING DEVOTION TO THE RED AND GOLD >>>>>J E T S >Reporter>THESE TWO WERE A TENT DIVIDED. I'M A JETS FAN, SO I BLEED GREEN. HE BLEEDS RED. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT THING. THEY MET AT WORK AND HAVE BEEN FRIENDLY RIVALS SINCE THE BEGINNING, BUT WHAT MAKES THEIR COMPETITION ESPECIALLY STRONG TODAY IS THE PRESENCE OF JETS QUARTERBACK AARON RODGERS. I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MY TEAM I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN AARON RODGERS. THE JERSEY THAT I'M WEARING HE HAD ONLY ONE SERIES LAST YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO GO THE WHOLE SEASON. THIS YEAR, RODGERS IS A HOUSEHOLD NAME TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOOTBALL FANS, WITH MANY HOPING TO SEE THE 40 NINERS TAKE HIM WITH THE FIRST PICK IN 2005 DRAFT. STILL, THEY SAY THEY DON'T NEED RODGERS TO TAKE THE TEAM ALL THE WAY. WE GOT ALL THE PLAYERS ALL RIGHT. AARON RODGERS ONE PERSON. WHEN THE NINERS FINALLY ENTERED THE STADIUM, FANS WERE TOUCHED BY THE TRIBUTE TO ROOKIE RECEIVER RICKY PEARSALL AND THOSE WHO HELPED HIM AFTER HE WAS SHOT. THE POWELLS SAID THE DEDICATION SPEAKS TO THE RESILIENCE OF THE TEAM AND ITS FAN BASE, BUT ALSO THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO. >>>>>THAT WAS AMAZING TO ME I'M A BIG SUPPORTER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND EVERYONE IN THAT COMMUNITY, IT IT ALMOST BROUGHT ME TO TEARS TO SEE THAT THEY WERE HERE AND SUPPORTING HIM. OH YEAH, IT'S AMAZING THAT HE'S EVEN OUT HERE TODAY. SEEING HIM WALKING AROUND AND EVERYTHING WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANT INJURIES >Reporter>ALL RIGHT. SO THE STADIUM IS CLEARING OUT WITH THE LAST OF THE FANS SHOUTING VICTORY AND HEADING OUT. THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE EXPECTING MORE TO COME >Devin>ALL RIGHT, KARA, SO THAT YOU'RE RELATIVELY NEW TO THE BAY AREA. YOU ARE FROM LOUISIANA, FROM BATON ROUGE, FROM NEW ORLEANS, FROM HUDAK COUNTRY. I'M JUST CURIOUS, WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST TASTE OF THE NINERS LIKE TONIGHT DOWN AT LEVI'S >Reporter>WELL, FIRST, I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU'RE EXPOSING ME LIKE THIS. BUT YES IT'S TRUE. I DO COME FROM THE SWAMP, BUT I HAVE TO SAY, THIS IS A NICE GROUP OF FANS. THEY'RE VERY PASSIONATE, AND IT WAS REALLY NICE
