San Francisco, CA- Game day was finally upon us yesterday in the Bay Area. It was an early morning for the Ferro crew, who made the bus ride from the hotel to the stick hours before kick off. Although they say it never rains in California, the Niners welcomed the Giants and nation's media with a watery hello.

Once the crew arrived on location at the stadium it was time for business. After changing out of their suits into game gear, Ferro unpacks all of the equipment and scouts out the field. The initial field walk about found conditions very challenging, not only for playing football, but for production purposes as well. The stadium grounds crew worked very diligently to remove as much excess water as they could before the game began.

While all this is going on, the major networks were beginning to unwrap stages and cameras for the numerous pre-game shows leading up to the championship game.

Beyond the weather issues, Candlestick Park holds various production challenges. Being that it is one of the oldest stadiums in the league, the basic infrastructure is simply not 2012 media friendly. To give you all an example: Ferro's staging area for equipment was also used as the Giants team training room, and post-game press conference area!

As it would turn out, through all of the fog and rain, the New York Giants and Ferro Productions were able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The G-Men walked away from San Francisco with the NFC Championship and Ferro walked away with a flawless day of production.
