Well here in bay area , northern california . Our local teams and fans can get worked up big time , even when both teams our bad. At one time was a fan of both teams, but quit rooting for 49ers there first good year in 1981. Because there fans became to obnoxious . Till then rarely would here to many people talk about niners except the 20 to 25 thousand who went to there games. But as soon as the ass al davis moved to Los Angeles suddenly all the yuppies and poor lost boys started rooting for them . Back then the rivalery was cultural and economic to . San francisco had whites and asians supporting them , oakland was white , black and hispanic. As for economic , seems like san fran crowd , was higher income people , same type put this country in economic problems . Oakland was middle class to being min wage . Even food was difference , at tail gate partys . Wine , lobster , crab and such at SF Games . Oakland , hOT DOGS , BURGERS AND RIBS AND OF COURSE BEER AND HARDER STUFF . tHOSE WERE THE DAYS . I`m sure other towns have different reasons for rivaleries . . Sure New york has theres to.
