our very own vern glenn and nicole zaloumis gave it a go and they did great. the city of vegas says it is expecting more than 300,000 tourists to visit the city just this week. >>> not everyone, or anyone, can afford tickets to sunday's game. we just checked stubhub! and the cheapest seat we could find was $5300. could you imagine? that is not stopping niners fans from soaking up the super bowl atmosphere in las vegas. >> reporter: among the fans walking the las vegas strip today was tonya jordan. this 49er fan just got in this morning from elk grove. she does not have a ticket to the super bowl but is just thrilled to be here to get a little taste of the super bowl experience. >> being around niners fans and the vibe, it is like nothing. i am as close as i can get. >> evelyn as part of the good vibes evelyn is talking about. lee is getting stopped for photos left and right because of his outfit and we've got to give credit where credit is due from his get up. >> i am his wife. >> do you take all the credit? >> i take all the credit. >> they are faithful fans

let's look at sports with vern. hey, vern. >>> what a treat for dub nation. this never happens. being allowed to transmit from the warriors practice facility deep inside chase center. this is where the magic happens as the warriors got after it today, targeting the second half of the season with their eyes on making a run towards the playoffs. now the warriors, they won eight out of their last ten headed to the all-star break. and being in the play-in game. a big game tomorrow night where the lakers will come to town. right ahead of the warriors and the standings. but the rookie says the team got their sight set a little higher than just making the play in. >> and we are 23-3 in the last playoff series. so you know we got that much more confidence that we could beat them in a seven-game series. once you're above that seven mark, at least four games. we're not really focusing on seven, eight, nine, ten, but looking at number six and number five. >> all right, the warriors, they are looking for a nice second half push. a hot push going into the all-star break. here is a college te

a huge media event where players sit down with hundreds of journalists including our very own vern glenn and matt lively. we have a team of reporters in vegas all week long, covering the team and the faithful where they are showing up in force already. close to half a million people are expected to travel to vegas for sunday's super bowl. the city and casinos are ensuring they have plenty of things to do. the experience at mandalay bay opens wednesday. fans can see every super bowl ring and the vince lombardi trophy. plus plenty of games for the kids. >> this is our field goal kicks. we have the nfl flag clinics, we have amazing merchandise. >> now for families visiting las vegas, the nfl says kids 12 and under get to do the fan experience for free. >>> and for those who can't travel to las vegas for the big game, there's one spot on the peninsula filled with niners history that's ready to make more special memories on sunday. max darrow reports from the dutch goose. >> reporter: for 58 years, people have made special memories at the dutch goose. and that trend will continue when the 49e

. >> vern, before you go, we've been wondering what brock purdy was up to in the off season. >> what is he up to? >> well, he's wasted no time getting a new job. now, he's not quitting the team. this is more of an agricultural gig. >> that's his jam. >> at least it's supposed to look that way. look what i stumbled upon today in san francisco. none other than the 49ers quarterback behind the wheel of a giant john deere tractor. it was a commercial shoot for john deere and will debut in a few weeks. but the best part, i was walking my dog when it happened watching from vernal heights park system suddenly brock screamed coyote, and i turned around and saw the biggest coyote sneaking up on me and my dog and one of the film crew guys said brock saved your life! >> what's the first thing you notice? the tractor or purdy? >> well, i was with my kid and my kid was like tractor! but it was really cool, and he seemed very nice. i congratulated him on his season. >> great! and he probably said thank you. >> he did. very gracious. >> maybe even said thank you ma'am. >> all right, vern, thank you

let's head to vern who will juggle a lot in sports. hey, vern. >> hey, welcome to chase center with the 49ers season over. they picked up a great time to get hot. they are going for their sixth straight win tonight. if they could get by the l.a. clippers. dare i say moving pictures on the late show. the last time the warriors were on this floor. they nailed out a 29-foot shot. it's 27 threes in the last three games. the other thing in the lineup, he scored double figures in 31 straight games. green, he wants that assist for their breakout season. >> honestly, when they get suspended, they would help. we are away because number one, since i got them taking off, you know, that has kind of set the stage for this team that's the number two option on our team. >> and the warriors, they would try for another second option at the trade deadline, espn reporting that they called the lakers about a deal for lebron james. and he is not interested in leaving los angeles. they will be teammates this weekend at the all-star game. there is a chance t

all right, for more on sports, let's go to my good friend and colleague, vern glenn. is it raining where you are? i assume it is? >> reporter: yes, it is still coming down. we are less than five days away from super bowl lviii, where the 49ers are poised to make noise with quarterback brock purdy who could silence the critics with a win over the chiefs. now despite leading san francisco to the super bowl, his second season, purdy still has a fair share of doubters who label him as a game manager, a product of a talent around him. but purdy, he has taken that criticism and turned it into a compliment. >> it could be a compliment at times where it is like all right, you've got a guy that could come in and run that system well. you're good enough to be able to hit guys that are open and make plays. there's 32 teams in the nfl and not a lot of people that could come in and play the quarterback position well in the nfl. it's a hard job. if you're saying that i'm a game manager and i don't look flashy in how i do it. that's your opinion and that's okay. >> purdy is one of t

see you in new orleans. >> yes. >> all right, vern, thank you.t was fun traveling with you and doing the red and gold report. >>> rain or shine they could be a problem. how one bay area county is looking to naturallize the threat from eucalyptus trees. >> and another attempt to get rid of plastic bags, how a crack down 10 years ago led to more waste and how lawmakers want to correct that. >>> calm conditions today to kick off the workweek. high cloud cover over head. you can see that as we look out from salesforce tower over the bay bridge. clouds thicker tomorrow. tracking the return of rain chances, details two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is cle

vern glenn joins us now. preparations for the game already starting to ramp up. >> we just got the 49ers team schedule for next week. let's go! i have a question. what does brock purdy have to do to get some respect on the national front? will it take beating chiefs patrick mahomes in the super bowl, yes or no? well, it won't be purdy's first game against the chiefs. he replaced jimmy garoppolo the end of last year's match-up and completed his first nfl pass. purdy spent that week pretending to be patrick mahomes on the scout team. now he'll try to beat him on football's biggest stage. >> honestly when you're trying to replicate what an nfl starting quarterback something and you try to do that at practice, you sort of pick up on some stuff and sort of learn things and honestly add stuff to your toolbox. >> reporter: what was your best? >> last year -- i don't want to compare myself to mahomes. >> hey, this is the last day off for the team. tomorrow, friday, saturday is practice, practice, practice. they'll go

>> oh my gosh, vern, i'm telling you. i think you anticipate what's about to come. i get the historical context of what's just happened. and a little bit of this happened in 2018 when i became the first woman to call a major league game in quite some time. but no, i think i'm overwhelmed with gratitude more than anything. the overwhelming amount of friends and family that reached out, but then the amount of people in the baseball industry. you just feel really good about the time you spent, the relationships you've built, and it's been pretty overwhelming. >> reporter: when i saw you as kicker story on the cbs evening news, i was like oh, snap! this is a national story! >> finally tonight, history is being made in major league baseball with the oakland a's naming jenny cavnar as the lead play by play announcer. >> reporter: what's it like going from someone that tells the story to being the story? >> yes, it's uncomfortable in our world! we're not supposed to be the story! but you were blown away, my mom was like i think this is a big job. my mom saw me on national

. >>> let's go to vern in sports. >> all right, jules. we got the nba up top, the warriors and number 29, the number of games left for a team that begins tonight's second half of the season with a record of 27-26, 44 wins good enough last season. how about this time? the warriors will start their playoff push tonight at home with "the late show," l.a. just ahead of them in the standings. to set the scene, if the season ended today, the warriors would face the lakers in a play-in game, but they're only five games back of new orleans for that coveted six seed. that would avoid the play-in, backdoor way in. so all 29 of these games left are critical. >> we've been on a good run, but we got to carry that forward. there's no reason why we can't keep winning and do what we did a year ago, which was climb up the standings and put ourselves in a favorable position for the playoffs. >>> the lakers tonight are without lebron james, ankle. they have to make up 25 points, eight rebound s, seven assists. the warriors reportedly called about james' eli

can't wait. >> so exciting. >> thanks, vern. >>> up next, while the members of metallica wait you mayam schiff's work to protect the rule of law, or to build affordable housing, or write california's patients bill of rights. but i know adam through the big brother program. we've been brothers since i was seven. he stood by my side as i graduated from yale, and i stood by his side when he married eve, the love of his life. i'm a little biased, but take it from adam's little brother. he'll make us all proud as california senator. i'm adam schiff and i approve this message.

a little frosting of snow on some of the bay area's peaks by early saturday morning, vern? >>> all right there, paul. what do we got on a monday night in sports? a local team to us but number one in the nation on the sports landscape. giants fans, wait until you hear this head scratcher. >>> and help is on the >>> i don't know how professional basketball players do it, but playing back to back seems exhausting. >> have you seen their paycheck? yeah, that's how they do it. >> that'll do it. that'll do it. >> warriors sitting on 29 wins, they need 44 imo. nba, we're talking about the warriors on the road. they open up a four-game trip in the nation's capital tomorrow, just when the dubs need a pick -me-up, reinforcements are here. chris paul set to return against the wizards. he's been out since early january. cp3 could be a boost to steph ecurry who struggled with his shot the last two games. and head coach steve kerr thinks his star player has looked fresher. >> i think steph has looked tired to me the last couple games. it makes sense doing the all star game stuff, not get
