A northern California native, Jon Pardi had the opportunity to attend the NFC Championship game this season, during which the San Francisco 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers, earning the 49ers a place in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.
"It was really cool to go on the football field when you've got everybody from the head guy of the NFL and you've got Jerry Rice out there running around, the "Night Shift" singer says in a statement from his label. "It was really cool, and then we got to go watch the game in a really nice suite and - thank you 49ers — they were awesome.
"It was just really cool, and to see them go to the Super Bowl at Levy Stadium, which is a very nice stadium - it was awesome. I grew up playing football, and it was always the 9ers, you know?," he recalls. "Like, we looked up to those guys. I looked up to the 49ers. It was like our local team, and I guess I just never lost that spark from when they went to the Super Bowl.
"I think the game's going to be great," he continues, in reference to the Super Bowl. "The Chiefs are tough, and the Chiefs is another one…the Chiefs haven't been in a Super Bowl in a long time either, so this is gonna be an all-out war of football, which is gonna be a great Super Bowl, and we're gonna get a great Super Bowl from two great teams."
