1989 Super Bowl was the first NFL game I ever watched as a kid. My dad suggested I pick a team to cheer for and I chose the 49ers. I have been a fan ever since.
I do also cheer for the Bills since they were the closest team to Toronto and many southern Ontarians are Bills fans but 49ers are and were always my NFL team. 49ers visit Buffalo this coming season. I am hoping it is early enough in the season that the weather is nice and I can make the trek to the game. I have been to Bills games before but I have never actually seen the 49ers play live.

I’ve met a lot of bills fans from Toronto
25 percent of their season ticket are Canada
1989 Super Bowl vs Bengals or Broncos?
The Bengals game was close because of special teams miscues. Spread was 49ers -7, 20-16 final , last game Bill Walsh
Broncos game was 55-10 blowout, first season of coach Seifert

Bengals. It was pretty easy to be a 49ers in my early years of fandom and walk around the school yard with my 49ers starter jacket. Had some pretty lean years after the mid-late 90s Cowboys rivalry years, but the last 5 have been another good era for 49ers football. Hopefully they can manage to take home 6.
Most of my friends and family are Bills fans.
