Castro bars were packed with people watching the 49ers challenge the Ravens in Super Bowl 47. The entire neighborhood could be heard roaring during the 49ers' resurgence after a 34-minute power outage at the Superdome in the 3rd quarter that had the Ravens at a 22-point lead. The 49ers took 17 straight points before the end of the 3rd quarter, but it wasn't enough to keep the Ravens from clenching the championship in the 4th. After a disappointing defeat the mood throughout the Castro became somber. Many people left the bars and Super Bowl house parties and walked subduedly down the sidewalks home. Twitter was filled with activity from around the city after the game. We collected some of the reactions from Castro and San Francisco neighbors: Cops in riot gear in the Mission around 8:30.
