There will be another first for the nfl on friday. The opposing coaches will hold a joint News Conference just two days before the big game.

We had 30 different reports of tornadoes over the past two days, seven in north georgia this morning. So yes, it was pouring in new orleans with gusty winds, but they were on the southern end of things. We had 550 reports over the past two days of wind damage and one person did lose his life in tennessee as a result of this severe weather, which will be heading toward baltimore over the next 12 hours. They had a high of 70 today. They will be in the 40s tomorrow on the other side of that front.

The Property Owner of bella vista eye clinic will hire three security guards to watch the building on sunday. Its a very costly office, you know, because of the equipment, because of the frames. So we cannot take chances. Reporter vandals tagged the building and set a bonfire in front of the clinic a few months ago when the giants won the world series. They also sprayed this japanese restaurant and other stores near the intersection of mission and 21st streets. Its been 18 years since the 9ers have been in a super bowl and since theyve won one so definitely a heightened level of concern. Reporter the Restaurant Owner says he will close down early if people get out of control again. A couple of other stores are even thinking about boarding up their windows. Mayor lee hopes sports fans this time around will celebrate responsibly. People do deserve to kind of unleash all of their celebratory mood.

Just imagine what it will look like after 68,000 people spill out after a game and another nearby station which serves nearby amtrak and ace train, riders can already feel the chaos. Whats it going to mean for a little train station like this . Oh, too small. Reporter but if you are coming to the new stadium from points north, these stations could be in your future. Caltrain takes about 45 minutes from downtown San Francisco to Mountain View and thats where youll have to transfer to a vta light rail for another 20 minute ride. Its Mountain View to elmont. Reporter vta planners are working to speed up the journey as part of a larger improvement project.

Reporter Brandi Childress with vta says the bart extension to Santa Clara County will provide another route with an expected opening date of 2017 connecting to vta light rail near the great mall of milpitas. Amtrak and the ace trains will provide links for fans from oakland and the east bay suburbs and hot dog vendor Howard Gibbons says he doesnt feel too bad for some fans that will now have to commute. Yeah. But what did we do when they are stuck in San Francisco . We did the hassle of going through there, going through south city and everything. So, you know, now its their turn to come here and watch us enjoy our 49ers. Reporter as for that vta station outside the stadium, it only handles fewer than 100 passengers a day right now on a typical sunday. Planners expect it to be about 9,000 a day on game day.
