Thank You Hawai‘i


Late in the fourth quarter, San Francisco 49ers mascot "Sourdough Sam" added an aloha shirt and hula skirt to his costume, and brought out this sign (above) thanking the fans of Hawai‘i for supporting the NFL Pro Bowl's 30-year run at Aloha Stadium. He paraded around the field with the sign, drawing loud applause from the crowd.

The Pro Bowl will return in 2011 & 2012, but at game time the future of the game at Aloha Stadium was uncertain.

That was a nice gesture. I'm sure the folks there will miss it next year, but at least it's coming back!
