Traffic was horrible going over the bridge and pretty much everywhere else. Areas near stadiums are always busy but Candlestick in particular is such a bottleneck that it was especially bad. Add to the fact that it was raining and you have the makings for a pretty sucky day. It took us 3 and 1/2 hours to go 15 miles and so we missed most of the first half of the game, which sucks because that was the only half where the Raiders did anything worth cheering. :/
