Live Blog: 49ers vs. Giants
Posted by Scott Kegley on January 22, 2012 – 2:31 PM
Today marks the eighth NFC Championship game held at Candlestick Park, the most out of any NFL stadium. Add to the history between the 49ers and Giants in the playoffs and this game has all the makings of a great contest.
The 49ers beat the Giants back in Week 10, but both teams have changed significantly since then. Frank Gore was banged up and held to 0 yards rushing while Bradshaw was out for New York. Both running backs are healthy this time around.

It seems like this day would never get here. The 49ers and Saints have seemingly been on a collision course for the last two months with the only question being where the game would be played. The 49ers pulled off a win against the Rams in Week 17 to earn home field advantage. We’ll find out how big of an advantage that ends up being today.

Playoff positions will be decided all around the NFL today and the same is true in St. Louis. The 49ers have already secured a spot in the playoffs, but a win would give them a first-round bye.

The 49ers are going for their 12th win of the season today against the Seahawks. It would be their first 12-win season since 2001. The 49ers will have their work cut out for them against a hot Seahawks team that’s won their last three games.
The 49ers will also be without linebacker Patrick Willis and wide receiver Ted Ginn who are both inactive.

This is my first time at University of Phoenix Stadium when they’ve had the roof open and it’s a beautiful day to do so.
If the 49ers are going to get their 11th win of the season, they’ll have to do it without Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis who is inactive for today’s game.

The 49ers will play four of their last five games against NFC West opponents, starting today with the St. Louis Rams. A 49ers win would wrap up the NFC West title.

It’s finally here…the HarBowl. Jim Harbaugh’s 49ers (9-1) take on John Harbaugh’s Ravens (7-3) on Thanksgiving night.
Ray Lewis’ status was in question this week and he will be inactive for the game. One of the 49ers starters, Bruce Miller, will also miss the game and be replaced by Moran Norris.

Gameday Traffic Advisory
Posted by Scott Kegley on November 13, 2011 – 9:33 AMAn early morning wreck on Highway 101 near Willow Avenue and Menlo Park has closed two lanes of northbound traffic.
The clean-up is not expected to be completed until noon, thus causing potential traffic delays for those traveling northbound on Highway 101 to Candlestick Park for today’s game between the 49ers and New York Giants.
If possible, fans are urged to use Highway 280 as an alternate route to Candlestick Park.
