49ers will host NFC Championship watch parties in San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco

Want to cheer on the Niners in a sea of red and gold? But don’t have tickets to Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at Levi’s Stadium?

The San Francisco 49ers will host three Bay Area watch parties — in San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco — with fan chants, scoring songs and giveaways at the end of each quarter. For global fans who have joined the fan base (thanks to the NFL’s outreach) there are also parties scheduled in Mexico City; Monterrey, Mexico; and Leeds, England.

The day before the game against the Detroit Lions, a fan rally in San Jose at The Plex entertainment complex will provide an early kickoff to the festivities.

“These events open doors for our dedicated fans, whether they’re in the Bay Area, Mexico or the UK, to engage in the game-day experience together,” Nick Clarke, the team’s senior manager of fan engagement, said in announcing the lineup.
