49ers take on Raiders in Napa Monday
By DAN ROSS
Register Online Staff
San Francisco 49ers players and staff are due in Napa later today to prepare for a two-a-day practice Monday with the Oakland Raiders.
The teams practice together from 9-11 a.m. and again later in the day at the Raiders' closed-to-the-public training camp facilities at Redwood Middle School and the Napa Valley Marriott. The team meet up again at the end of the week in the first preseason game of the season for each of them.
Napa Valley Register staff is going to blog from both the morning and afternoon practices, and Marty James is writing a series of articles for the next day's newspaper on what takes place during the dual-team workouts.

Then in 80’s and 90’s you couldn’t walk 10 yards without running into a 49er faithful, looks like we are back in the late 70’s again.
But we true fans as always are here and always will be true to our team, Go 9ers and welcome to the Napa Valley "

I have a friend that works at the Marriott and can't even see them practice.
It's basically for all the elitists and the Players families.
They should show the town that they are happy that we allow them to come here and have training camp! "

Maybe Al Davis is afraid that Bill Bellicheck has spies who are going to try and steal plays.
The most likely reason is that Al Davis lost his mind years ago and probably doesn't know where Napa is or what it is. "
