From head to toe, Belinda Rhodes is blinged out in 49ers gear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Love this one, Jerry Rice has one just like this too,” Rhodes told CBS News Bay Area. \u00a0“This is my latest fun piece, my Sourdough Sam hat.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
She has been cheering on for the Niners for as long as she can remember.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“My dad was a Niners fan, my brothers are Niners fans. So really, born into the Niner Faithful,” Rhodes added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since 2014, she’s been even more loyal to the Faithful.<\/p>\n
“We’ve been season ticketholders and attended pretty much almost every game away and home. We’ve missed very little,” she said.<\/p>\n
That’s no easy feat. She splits her time between Stockton and Carmel for work. Rhodes makes sure to have at least one jersey and some memorabilia in her car just in case.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I probably could have bought a house. It’s been a lot, it’s an investment in just the entertainment and being a fan,” Rhodes said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All eyes are on Saturday’s high-stakes regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. If the Niners win, they’ll lock in home-field advantage through the Super Bowl, which is being held on their home field.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter home, or away, she will be there to root on her 49ers, just like she has for decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Super excited, but I’m really confident. We’ve been playing well. Purdy’s been playing well, we have a lot of injuries, but our team has really picked up,” Rhodes said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Courtney Ferrante, Rhodes’ boss, is also a Niners fan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Two months ago, Belinda put in a request to have Super Bowl Sunday off. So that she could go see the Niners play,” Ferrante told CBS News Bay Area.<\/p>\n
Rhodes is confident that the Niners will secure the NFC West title and conference’s number one seed. And if they do, she knows just what to wear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This is my favorite jersey, Jerry Rice, he signed it. When the stadium opened, he did a signing so we stood in line all night. I was number three in line,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As long as the 49ers take the field, Rhodes will be there, and you surely won’t miss her in the bleachers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
