What does the new season hold for the San Francisco 49ers? This is a question that is now front and center for all fans of this soccer dynasty of five world championships. The San Francisco 49ers are already revamping their player roster and coaching staff in preparation for the new season. The team knows that their fanbase is looking forward to a breakout season and they are on track to deliver this and much more. Anticipation and excitement are fueling demand for San Francisco 49er tickets and driving sales even higher. 2009 is on track to be a sold-out season as of opening day. Fans are determined not to miss any of the action, and some are already planning their fall menus.
An unusual start for the gold rush team
Shortly after World War II, the city of San Francisco began to experience a new boom era. Professional sports teams were then located in the Midwest and on the East Coast of the United States, but Anthony Morabito believed that a soccer franchise in San Francisco would generate a lot of excitement and income. Morabito tried to get the NFL interested in the proposal before World War II ended, but was rejected. However, he knew that the All America Football Conference was going to be organized and in 1944 he joined this sporting adventure.
Anthony Morabito and his partners joined forces to create a team identity that would be memorable. Together they created the San Francisco 49ers name that paid tribute to the miners of the Gold Rush years. A chance sighting of a railroad car painting of a miner firing a gun was the inspiration for the team’s logo. After the AAFC ended, Morabito was finally able to get the NFL franchise he wanted. Now the San Francisco 49ers tickets began to achieve enormous popularity.
Smith is ready to return
Fans are happy to hear that terms were recently finalized for Alex Smith’s return to the lineup at the quarterback position. A new 2-year contract will give Smith the opportunity to show his talents after being out of the game for the last year and a half. In 2006, Smith wowed the crowd and showed a lot of promise. However, a shoulder injury halted his 2007 season after 7 games and kept him on the Injured Reserve in 2008. Now he is finally ready to return to the field for 2009.
The “Can Do It” team
Since its inception more than 60 years ago, the San Francisco 49ers team has accumulated 5 Super Bowl titles, 17 division championships and 5 conference titles. The team’s record of 5 Super Bowl appearances without a loss is a bragging right that fans love. The only thing that can improve this is adding a sixth Super Bowl title this year. Once again, San Francisco 49ers tickets are in high demand because fans know this could be one of the best seasons for their club. This team has a history of exceeding the expectations of its loyal fans and 2009 is shaping up to be one of the best in a long time.
