The greatest 49ers Man Cave ever built is located in… Amery, Wisconsin?
Born and raised in Amery, Wis. — a town with just over 2,900 people — he's spent his entire life sandwiched between the Minnesota Vikings’ U.S. Bank Stadium, and Green Bay Packers’ Lambeau Field.His accent is"Fargo"-thick, and he grills brats on game days.
And yet, he's been repping the red and gold since 1979, when a then-14-year-old Gilbertson attended his first Niners game at Candlestick Park. "I was visiting my sister in San Mateo. That was Joe Montana's rookie season and I just fell in love with the environment," he says."'Packers fan' was never even in my vocabulary."This is the most legendary 49ers fan man cave in America."We moved into a new house in 2004, and my whole plan was that the basement would eventually be the man cave," he explains.
Today, more than 50 jerseys hang from the ceiling. There's a bar he hand-built with his dad, Duane, as well as a giant 49ers helmet that doubles as a game-day chair. There are 49ers pinball machines and Dwight Clark mannequins, there's a seat from Candlestick park and replica Levi's Stadium signs. There are Joe Montana pillows and Jerry Rice lamps, commemorative plates, signed helmets, and even a shrine to George Kittle and Jimmy Garoppolo .
