49ers fans rally in Las Vegas ahead of Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs
LAS VEGAS -- Fans gathered to show their support for the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas and in San Francisco's Mission District Saturday night, gearing up for Sunday's Super Bowl showdown.
CBS News Bay Area cameras captured the growing excitement on Saturday night at the Westgate Sports Book and Joey's Tavern, a popular gaming bar on W. Craig Rd. that has long been a stronghold for the 49er Faithful in Las Vegas.
In addition to an appearance by the San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush cheerleaders, Joey's on Saturday hosted autograph and meet-and-greet sessions with Niners legends John Taylor -- the gifted wide receiver who caught passes from Joe Montana and Steve Young and '80s-era cornerback Eric Wright. Both players were on multiple 49ers NFL championship teams, with Taylor playing in three Super Bowls and Wright playing in four.
The Super Bowl started at 3:30 p.m. PST at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. You can tune in to watch the game broadcast live on both CBS and Nickelodeon or watch the livestream on Paramount+. More information on the game and how to watch is available at CBS Sports.
