What does the new season hold for the San Francisco 49ers? This is a question that is now front and center for all fans of this 5-time world championship soccer dynasty. The San Francisco 49ers are already revamping their roster and coaching staff in preparation for the new season. The team knows their fan base is eager for a breakout season and they are well on their way to achieving this and much more. Anticipation and excitement are fueling demand for San Francisco 49ers tickets and driving sales even higher. 2009 is on track to be a sold-out season as of opening day. Fans are determined not to miss any of the action, with some already planning their fall menus.

An unusual start for the Gold Rush team

Shortly after World War II, the city of San Francisco began to experience a new boom age. Professional sports teams were then located in the Midwest and on the East Coast of the United States, but Anthony Morabito believed that a San Francisco soccer franchise would generate a lot of excitement and revenue. Morabito tried to get the NFL interested in the proposal before World War II ended, but was rebuffed. However, he knew that the All America Football Conference was going to be organized and in 1944 he aligned himself with this sporting adventure.

Anthony Morabito and his partners joined forces to come up with a team identity that would be memorable. Together they came up with the name San Francisco 49ers which paid tribute to the miners of the gold rush years. A chance sighting of a train car painting of a miner firing a gun was the inspiration for the team’s logo. After the AAFC ended, Morabito was finally able to get the NFL franchise he wanted. Now the San Francisco 49ers tickets began to reach tremendous popularity.

Smith is ready to return

Fans are happy to learn that terms were recently finalized for Alex Smith’s return to the lineup at quarterback. A new 2-year deal will give Smith a chance to showcase his talent after being sidelined for the last year and a half. By 2006, Smith was wowing the crowd and showing great promise. However, a shoulder injury to him halted his 2007 season after 7 games and kept him on Injured Reserve in 2008. He is now finally ready to return to the field in 2009.

The “Can Do” Team

Since its inception more than 60 years ago, the San Francisco 49ers have amassed 5 Super Bowl titles, 17 division championships and 5 conference titles. The team’s record of 5 Super Bowl appearances without losing is a bragging right that fans love. The only thing that can improve this is adding a sixth Super Bowl title this year. Once again, San Francisco 49ers tickets are in high demand because fans know this could be one of the best seasons for their club. This team has a history of exceeding the expectations of its loyal fans and 2009 is shaping up to be one of the best in a long time.
