The San Francisco 49er began their prep for their game in Mexico City with exposure to numbing temperatures. The team headed out to practice in Colorado Springs in preparation for the 7,300 feet elevation they’re heading into in Mexico City.

San Francisco will take on the divisional rivals, the Arizona Cardinals in an NFL international game in Mexico City. The team will be practicing at the United States Air force Academy. The Academy sits at about 6700 feet above sea level. The 49ers will get accustomed to the elevation of Estadio Azteca this way.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said although he dislikes the cold, the altitude change will help in preparation for their game against the Cardinals. Other players also shared similar views. He also mentioned that in case of overnight snow, their practice session could be moved to an indoor facility.

Tight end George Kittle echoed Shanahan’s statements with regard to the altitude change.

The San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver was a tad bit confused

Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk seemed to have misplaced the memo regarding the team’s practice in Colorado. Aiyuk shared an Air Force Falcons post on his Instagram story and said, “I thought we was going to Mexico!!! ” Fans online reacted to Aiyuk’s comment and reiterated the humor of the situation.
