Forty Niners fans are all smiles just days before the big game.  We met up with some die hard fans who say the 49ers have been a big part of life.  Some fans even have tattoos to prove their loyalty.

"I've had that probably about 15 years," says one 49ers fan.

We stopped by JR's Sports in Fresno and they say they've been swamped since their doors opened.

Forty Niners caps with the Super Bowl logo on the side along with car flags are just some of the top selling items fans are buying.

"Realistically it's just anything that's Niners...I mean everybody is just getting ready for the big game, getting their parties together," said JR's Sports manager, Noe Lopez.

Lopez says it seems like all the fans coming into the store have had a wave of happiness come over them.

"People that they don't even know before are just high-fiving each other, like they know each other," said Lopez.

While we mostly ran into 49ers fans, there were also ravens fans who weren't afraid to root for their team.

Another Ravens fan says he's been getting heat from Niners fans, but says it's all a part of the game.

"You know five steps into the door, some lady already told me something...you know and congratulated my fiance and I was like, oh man it's going to be a long weekend," said Ravens fan, Isaac Hernandez.

JR's Sports says they've had to extend their hours because there are so many fans coming into the store looking to buy those hot, last minute items.
