"It's a special night because we're the only game on TV. Everybody's watching, the players are hyped and the fans are hyped. It's the best."
"We started out with fried rice, chorizo and egg and New York steak. All the guys that come, we've been doing it for about 10 years now, ever since Levi's opened. So, we've became a family."
"I'm feeling good. I feel like we're going to beat Carolina. We have the offense back, Purdy and Pearsall, I think we're going to score some points and duplicate what we did last week in Arizona."
Thousands of 49ers fans arrived at Levi's Stadium long before kickoff, with some lining up as early as 4:30 a.m. despite gates opening around 12:45 p.m. Longstanding pregame traditions and decade-old tailgate groups cooked meals and gathered in family-like fashion to build energy for the primetime contest. The coast-to-coast Monday Night Football spotlight heightened excitement and territorial bragging rights against Carolina. Many attendees wore Christian McCaffrey jerseys as he faced his former team for the first time since the trade. With a playoff spot at stake, supporters expressed confidence in the offense returning with Purdy and Pearsall after the recent Arizona game.
