After combing over the ticket resale market, numbers suggest the 49ers will have more fans attending the team’s NFC Championship Game at SoFi Stadium on Sunday against the Rams.
The Los Angeles Times reported that ticket resale site Vivid Seats is estimating 65 percent of fans in attendance at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles will be 49ers fans. The Rams and 49ers recently played in a Week 18 matchup at SoFi Stadium, in which Los Angeles had to use silent counts at home due to the crowd noise from 9ers fans.
"I'm not going to lie, I've never seen so many of the opposing team's fans at a game," Matthew Stafford's wife, Kelly Stafford said after the Rams-49ers Week 18 match-up. "And we came from Detroit and there were a lot of good-traveling teams there, but that was wild. It was crazy. I mean, again, I've never seen anything like that, but it made it very hard for us because I guess we weren't expecting to be on silent count."

Well all the tech millionaires in SF need to spend $$ somewhere.
They can only get robbed by the concession stand.
It isn’t them.
Sad.
How quickly people have forgotten the NFL’s rejection of America.
How willing people are to cheer for thugs who refuse to stand for the National Anthem.
Los Angeles has never been a football city during my lifetime. Before the Rams left Anaheim the stadium was usually half empty, and the sight of all those empty sections at the LA Coliseum for Raiders games was just sad. Meanwhile, the tidal wave of people fleeing the Bay Area means 49ers away games are always going to have a lot of 49ers fans on hand. I’ll be showing up in 49ers colors for Cowboys games in the fall after I move.
The Raiders are still Los Angeles’ favorite team, even though they play in Las Vegas.
FU NFL
For those of you who are quick to point out how you don’t care for the NFL anymore. There are more people watching than aren’t. Now that the wokesters have taken hold it’s up to the Aaron Rogers folk to stand up to all the woke BS. Where’s his friends? They certainly want to go along to get along. The messages on the back of their helmets. Those woke commercials making fun of big dumb whitey.
All the attention will be on football for the next 17 days. The left certainly knows how to get attention at the right moments. Rogers needs to speak again and others need to follow. I’m waiting for Kurt Schilling to say something provocative. Think of a poured beer coming to a head.
This may be anecdotal, but in my entire life I don’t think I’ve ever met a Rams fan.
The Raiders drew better in LA than in Oakland, but you go ahead now...
Many years ago I worked for a man that would buy blocks of tickets to every college bowl game east of the Mississippi. He was a retired bank president that used his retirement for his first love, the trucking business.
He used those bowl tickets to get new business and reward the most loyal customers. One big tax write off for him, a better paycheck for us.
I expect a lot of the play-off and SB tickets are the same deal.
The Rams temporarily blocked non-L.A. buyers from grabbing tix, but when people got mad on socmedia they dropped it. I liked the idea. S.F. billionaires spend thousands or tens of thousands without care to flood the stands. Why make it easier?
If SF goes all the way they’ll keep Goroppolo. The #2 QB can’t be counted on as ready. Goroppolo knows the offense and the 1st/2nd year players will improve. It would make no sense to break up a winning combination.
And a lot of those Raiders fans at their home games in Vegas make the drive from LA.
He never visited the old Orange Bowl in the early to mid-1970s, when the Dolphins played the Jets.
Remember, this is the period when the Dolphins were the most dominant team in football.
50% of the Orange Bowl was rooting for the Jets!
Almost as weird, the Orange Bowl was in the heart of Little Havana, but almost no Hispanics attended the games.
70% of season ticket holders were from Broward (Ft. Lauderdale) and Palm Beach County!
Hopefully they can get a better quarterback next year, no matter what happens. The rest of the team, besides the secondary is great. They just need a real quarterback.
You are all wrong. This isn’t tech CEOs, it’s a lot of working class people and some middle class people.
The No. 1 QB can't be counted on as ready.
From 2008 to 2015 in St Louis, the Rams averaged between 52,402 and 59,980 per game. In the first year back in Los Angeles, the Rams averaged 83,164 in 2016, 63,392 in 2017, 72,429 in 2018, and 71,229 in 2019. Hmmm, something seems out of sorts here, doesn’t it? Covid has tanked the numbers since, of course.
