49er Invasion Atlanta 2022 October 14-16th~!!!

First step is looking at the upcoming season opponents on the road and since Dave lives in Atlanta now (originally from the Bay) he likes to target cities he can haul the gear to within half a day road trip.  Also if the 49ers have decided which city to host their (4) Official 49er Invasion Saturday day parties at he takes that into consideration. (you hoooo 49ers Marketing Office, Dave wants to coordinate with you more, tag;).  Lastly we wait for NFL Draft and the schedule dates to be released to make our choices for good Sunday Away Games to invade. 

When Spartans are hosting a 49ers Invasion, the Takeover Architect (Dave) first looks at the away game stadium by satellite view on Google Maps. This is done to survey the lay of the land and parking lot options surrounding the stadium to reveal potential tailgate target areas.  Next he surfs message boards and social media of the opposing fans specifically seeking conversations around tailgating at their stadium game day.  Along with reading the stadium rules for tailgating he triangulates information to determine which parking lot will work best for an Invasion.  After that, he goes back to Google Maps and into "street view" and virtually walks the area taking screenshots to use later when communicating with traveling 49er fans on where the party is going to be. THEN.... he also reaches out to the host city 49ers Booster Clubs (if there is one in that city/area) and negotiates who can do what. Once the plan has good structure, all clubs involved start communicating to members and 49er fans in general and the 49ers Invasion is on! There's still much more involved like choosing local bars to meet and greet at the day(s) before the game, good hotel locations etc. but this gives you a good idea what we do and how to get started planning your 49er Invasion.  

Last tid bit, when it comes to food and drinks, there are many ways to tackle it. We have found that over the years, it's easier to bring enough to share and most 49er Fans are decent enough to bring something for the coolers or donate a few bucks to make us whole $ wise. We ask 49er Fans to not bring meat for our grill as we have a limited amount of grill space & time to cook;)   We try to keep it simple these days and it works out better for everyone. More focus on yelling Niners in the parking lot and less on fine dinning. ;)
