Monterey Peninsula 49ers and Raiders fans: want to avoid drinking and driving to the "Battle of the Bay" game? Then carpool on a party bus organized by The Bull & Bear from Monterey to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on November 1, where the Oakland Raiders will be playing against the San Francisco 49ers. The $75-$100 price will include: carpool to and from Levi's (departing from The Bull & Bear at 1:30pm), an all-you-can-eat-and-drink tailgate, and a safe ride home 30 minutes after the game. Note: this offer does NOT include game tickets.

The final price will be set once we have an idea of the size of the group. The Bull and Bear is doing this to help everyone steer clear of drunk driving (pun intended). We have a preliminary sign up sheet at Bull & Bear Whiskey Bar and Taphouse, located at 479 Alvarado Street in Old Monterey. Stop by and sign up if you're interested.
