The Super Bowl Party- 49er's Loss A Disappointment

The 24-seat Cinema was almost full, the libation flowing freely and hostess Karen K was an excellent host. We either had barbecued chicken wings or hot dogs box dinner with chips and avocado dips as appetizer that were delicious. It is one of the most exciting Super Bowl game I have ever watched. The 49er's lost a thrilling and nail-biting game after an overtime. We were disappointed and heartbroken, but we had a fun time enjoying the action in the big screen.  The only problem in the Cinema is, if you need a bathroom break, you have to walk back to the lobby and may missed some part of the Game. There is no bathroom in the Cinema.  

Here are some photos, I took before, during and after the Game in my Apartment TV and the THD Cinema. Again may I emphasize that the Cinema has no bathroom facilities but the seats are super comfortable. Some seats have recliners which is conducive to snoozing or napping  specially if you have already imbibed several glasses of wine or beer.

Meanwhile here's the write-up of the Game from espn.com

"Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are still in their Super Bowl Champions era.

With a relentless defense and opportune plays by their star quarterback -- including a handful of gutsy overtime scrambles -- the Chiefs won their third Super Bowl in five years in a 25-22 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers in only the second overtime in Super Bowl history.

After posting a losing record in December, the Chiefs embraced an underdog, villain mentality throughout the postseason, upsetting three teams en route to their second consecutive Super Bowl, becoming the ninth team to repeat as Super Bowl champions and first since the 2004 New England Patriots.

Led by their captains, most of the Chiefs arrived to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday in all black, signaling a steely resolve to upset Brock Purdy and the NFC's best offensive ensemble.

The Chiefs trailed by double digits in the first half and turned the ball over twice, prompting All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce to body check his head coach in frustration.

But Mahomes, who's trailed by double digits in all four Super Bowls, stayed calm and rallied his team with the help of a heads-up special teams recovery and a game-changing performance by defensive lineman Chris Jones.

The 49ers had the ball with 2:51 to go in a tied game, but with a signature Steve Spagnuolo blitz on third down late in the fourth quarter to force a 49ers field goal, Mahomes got the ball back with less than two minutes to play in regulation and promptly drove for a Harrison Butker game-tying field goal to send the Super Bowl to only its second-ever overtime. And though the 49ers scored first on a short field goal after a long drive. Mahomes countered with a game-winning touchdown drive that secured another Lombardi Trophy for the Chiefs ".
