The family came for the fun, but will not be going to the game.

"We've had them in Miami, we've had them in New Orleans, we've had them everywhere, but this is Vegas. There's so much to do," said Greg Papa, the 49ers' play-by-play analyst.
Papa's prediction for the big game?
"That's going to be the final score: 24-21, 49ers," Papa said. "And it's going to come down to a Jake Moody 48-yard field goal. Money Moody!"
