Yes, Brady has brought them to the super bowl and it will be the first time in history that a team gets to play in their own stadium for a super bowl. Our pro hockey team also won the Stanley cup, and our baseball team almost made it to the world series.
Super Bowl XIX was almost a home game for the 49ers; it was played at Stanford Stadium, about 30 miles down the road from their home stadium of Candlestick Park. That was 49ers 38, Miami Dolphins 16. The current home of the 49ers is only 13 miles from Stanford Stadium. Back to the topic, it's very difficult to compare the best athlete from different sports. Michael Schumacher or Lewis Hamilton or Tom Brady? I would say either Jimmy Clark or Ayrton Senna. It is extremely difficult in a team sport, as there are too many variables beyond the control of the athlete being compared.
