George Kittle Compares 49ers' Upcoming Clash With Saints at SuperDome to WrestleMania Event
By Karl Rasmussen
The San Francisco 49ers are hoping to secure their 11th win of the season when they travel to the SuperDome to play the New Orleans Saints.
Ahead of the matchup, George Kittle was asked about how he felt about playing for the first time in front of the crowd at the SuperDome, and he had a very on-brand response.
Kittle, a huge wrestling fan, said that he had previously attended WrestleMania at the SuperDome a couple of years ago, but that event featured an addition 20,000 seats.

He referenced how loud the crowd got when the Undertaker took center stage, so he's expecting a similar reception for the Sunday afternoon clash.
With the Saints and 49ers representing two of the NFC's best teams, the crowd noise will surely be through the roof in New Orleans, as this matchup could be a preview of what's to come in the playoffs.
49ers rush yards per carry…

Although Kittle has never played at the SuperDome, he seems more than ready to face the noise on the road and try to come away with a big Niners' win.
