Tailgate: 49ers vs Seahawks

October 18, 2012 – Thursday Night Football

How do you tailgate when you’re rushing to Candlestick Park from work, with no time to spare? You order take-out food and get rid of the grill of course?

This game didn’t land on a Sunday.

Weekday games are always fun. Maybe it’s the idea of playing hooky or leaving work early that makes them more exciting. Maybe it’s the lights that shine at night throughout the stadium and the even colder breeze from the bay. Or maybe it’s prime time football at it’s finest.

Whatever it is, night games are intense and we were there!

Play Action Shoot (Terrell Lloyd, myself, Kym Fortino, and Ben Warden) – October 7, 2012

Keeping my posts in chronological order…

I just realized that I posted pictures of the tailgate, but forgot to put the actual game! Oops! I swear I will get my momentum back.

This was the first game in October for the San Francisco 49ers, and just like the rest of the other teams in the NFL, there were pops of bright pink throughout the stadium in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

It may have been another day on the job, but I definitely enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Celebrating Justin’s 28th “Gold-Blooded” Birthday at Candlestick Park!

With back-to-back San Francisco 49ers home games this entire month, expect tons of pictures coming your way on my blog!

My long-time friend, Justin, only wanted three things for his birthday: family, friends, and 49ers football. Everyone came together to give him exactly what he wanted. We had a big group with us, celebrating at the birthday boy’s tailgate. Good food and great company. Fun, fun, fun!

So prepare to keep scrolling down the page, because I got a lot of pictures up on this one. A LOT! Enjoy!

Tailgate: 49ers vs Lions

September 16, 2012 

Football is finally here!!

Yesterday was the San Francisco 49ers home opener at Candlestick Park! I enjoyed my first tailgate of the season with good friends and family.

The place was packed (more than usual), due to the fact that the 49ers just came off an amazing 2011-2012 season. Even though I only hung out for a couple hours, since I had to be on the field for work; I still had a great time.

Where’s Datu?!

Who could that be on television walking by Patrick Willis after the 49ers vs Vikings preseason game?

Me, of course!!! Waldo, who?

It’s become a tradition with my family and friends to play “Where’s Datu?”  My family has recorded each game that I’ve worked on the field (only three so far, but many more to come), and we watch it after, in hopes of spotting myself on t.v.

Best Job Ever!

First day at my new job!

This past weekend, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime!! I was offered to work with 49ers photographer, Terrell Lloyd. You can find his work on the 49ers website & on their Facebook page.

And while there’s some things in life, where certain factors must be considered in order to make a decision; this job offer was definitely not one of those moments. I had to do it! No questions asked!

Tailgate: 49ers vs Saints (NFC Playoff)

Last Saturday, I got to attend my very first 49ers playoff game!

For those of you who don’t know, I have been a season ticket holder with the San Francisco 49ers since 2009.  And while I’ve been to many games at Candlestick Park, there was nothing like this one!

Here are a few pictures of our tailgate. Good food. Good company. Great times!
