49ers fans will take over Rams' SoFi Stadium again, per Vivid Seats

Once again, the 49ers' Faithful will invade Los Angeles and outnumber Rams fans at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.

sports.yahoo.com

It already is time for the Faithful to head to their southern California “home-away-from-home,” and as usual, the stands will be full of red when the 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.

Per ticket marketplace Vivid Seats’ Fan Forecast, at least 64 percent of the crowd will be wearing 49ers' red and gold Sunday, leaving only 36 percent wearing the Rams’ blue and yellow. Of course this comes as no surprise to reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa, who also was pleased to see the amount of Faithful in Pittsburgh in Week 1.


“It’s great,” Bosa said Wednesday. “I think we have the best-traveling fan base overall. Pittsburgh was impressive and I think we’ll take over L.A."

The 49ers also will wear their home red jerseys this weekend, making the atmosphere feel even more like a Levi's Stadium game.


A Vivid Seats spokesperson said that a proprietary algorithm that uses more than geography to predict fan affiliation believes that there is a large faction of 49ers fans living in southern California. Of course, this is standard operating procedure for the Faithful at all away venues.

The Los Angeles takeover is nothing new to either team as the SoFi stands have been predominantly red when the 49ers travel south since the stadium opened in 2020. Not only is this fun for 49ers fans, but it also gives San Francisco's defense an assist forcing Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense to use a silent count as a result of the noise.

This showing of 49ers fans in Los Angeles will rival the 65 percent that were in attendance for the 2021 NFC Championship Game, and is more than the 60 percent that showed up for their Week 18 contest just a few weeks before the conference title game.

the 2021 NFC Championship Game,

As long as the result is the same, I don’t care how many fans they bring.

Let's hope the Rams send them away rueing the day they decided to go to the game.

Maybe it will take winning more against them to change things. Who knows but to be the minority in your own stadium sucks. LA fans need to step up in these games. The Rams have no homefield advantage at all.

Rams winning vs the 49'ers and they are more likely to stay home in the future. It's up to McVay to turn this old trend around.

Christ do we have to re-hash this every season.

LA is a unique dynamic and it will take years to build the fan base back. They were without NFL for over 30 years so those residents gravitated to other fan bases. SoFi is also a destination, who the heck wants to go to that dump in Santa Clara??

If you are living in CA (or anywhere for that matter) and had to choose do I go to Santa Clara or Sofi to see the 49ers, the choice is pretty easy. No one would willinging choose to go to Levis....

Now go win on Sunday and send them home with the L.

 

[Ramrasta]

49ers cant sell out their home stadium but somehow find a way to pack Sofi like their local homeless shelter. I hate them with a passion. Even if we dont win, I hope we can put some of those scumbags on IR. CMC, Im looking at you!

Yes we do because people don't get it. It will take time to regain fans after Georgia ruined it for the Rams in LA

The street poopers can either watch their last Super Bowl win on VHS tape. Well, that's if they still somehow have a working vcr...

Or, they can admire their only banner since the days of Stranger Things...

They should use pieces of this to wipe their asses after they drop another pile of shit on the streets of their beloved city. It would tie everything together for them perfectly.

They were talking about that on Sirrius yesterday. Some Ram fans calling in to explain.......

"too many things to do"
"too many sports teams"
"fans went to other teams when the Rams went to St. Louis"
"too many corporate and celebrity ticketholders"

Some of the comments from the hosts

"But you guys didn't have any NFL team for 20 years!"
"They just won the Superbowl 2 years ago!!!"
"It's your arch rival coming to town!!!"

One thing I didn't hear from the fans calling in....
"tickets are too expensive and we sell a few games to recoup some money"
"we really love the team but we want to be sure they're not tanking"

Personally, I prefer watching football on TV...BUT....I'd think if I lived in L.A., I'd have season tickets and would attend every game. I might sell a couple of weeks if it were Arizona or Washington but I definitely wouldn't sell them when the 49ers were in town. That's being a saboteur.

Well, I doubt the 9ers fans at the game in L.A will be any louder than the Seahawk's fans were last week. I say, "send those Bitches home crying". If you want to see some real crazy fans watch the Tennessee vs Florida game, today.

 

[Jacobarch]

This will ruffle some feathers. LA sucks. LA fans are fairweather at best. It's always been this way and it will never change. Been a rams fan since 81.

Well, there was a nfl void for 20 years. So many kids in LA locked on to the whiners. It is who they grew up rooting for. Even if the rams dominate them it will take years to change.

 

[blackbart]

Any excuse for not filling the stadium for the Super Bowl champs is just that, a lame excuse. It’s pitiful and embarrassing.

Mr. Kronke built a marvelous palace and team that frankly, LA doesn’t deserve.

That’s the bottom line

 

[Oyster]

This past weekend, I noticed that the Dolphin fans were much louder than Charger fans at SOFI.

Shhhh its just Rams fans. Also whiner fans were loud in Pittsburgh clearly because Rams fans are bad. Honestly whiner fans travel well they take over a lot of stadiums but people ignore that to only shit on us. Actually that's only if they're winning, as we've seen if they're bad they don't fill their own stadium. Same with their baseball team.

Issues with fans is not exclusive to the LA Rams in spite of how some would like you to think it is.

aww... gotta give the little whiner a crybaby Dweebo.

 

[Corbin]

As always is the story and it ends up being 50/50 ish. Of course Whiner fans have to write articles for BS clicks and to disparage us.

I’d do the same if I was a Rams writer.

Also whiner fans were loud in Pittsburgh ... . Honestly whiner fans travel well they take over a lot of stadiums

They really do. I watched the entire 49ers/Steelers' game; and was surprised how strong a presence there was of Niners' fans. SoFi is a short trip but Pittsburgh is across the country, and it's the Steelers.

Agree with your analysis that it will take time for the Rams' fan base in L.A. to strengthen.
However, I was hoping the NFC Championship win over San Francisco, plus the Lombardi would have been significant steps in that direction; and, it is frustrating watching your favorite sports' team compete against its most-hated-rival, and not enjoy home-field fan support.

B-T-W, I thought the Fucking-Niners looked great last Sunday.
