Fair enough. Speed is relative to the other guys on the field anyway.
As someone who was a basketball player and sprinter and too skinny to have the onions to step on the gridiron, I'm admittedly biased towards hard and fast surfaces.
Couldn't agree more with that top line.
I LOVED Candlestick...but it never escaped my attention that the place was a dump. It was a boondogle since the day it was built and only got worse with age.
What I LOVED about Candlestick was the history in those walls. All of the games that took place there. Monday Night games. Playoff Games. NFC Championship games.
SF fans will feel similarly about Levis, but it needs to get some pelts on the wall. A SB? A coming National Championship Game? Those help, but what they REALLY need is some playoff wins in those walls. Sadly (for Niner fans anyway), that might be aways away.
Many Niner fans see the line between winning at Candlestick/Losing at Levi's. Obviously, it's never that simple.
Many 9ers fans should be reminded that compared to '04 and '05 in Candlestick the last two years in Levis have been glorious.
