"It was a tough environment for us to communicate in really the whole second half," said Stafford, who completed 15 of 16 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, but saw a drop off in production in the second as he finished 21 of 32 for 238 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions, amounting to his third consecutive game with multiple turnovers.

Niners fans knew for several months they'd be playing in LA that Sunday, and it was in California.

They've only known they're playing Dallas since Sunday. Won't be so easy to get an army of red there.

Quarantine all Californians at DFW upon arrival. That'll allow Cowboy fans to profit and keep most 9ner fans out of the stadium.

LA fan base is not great, all Ram games seem to have as many fans for the opposing team than there own. I even notice that with the Charger games.

How many people from the Bay Area already live in the area? There is a lot of tech in Dallas and the surrounding areas and would not be surprised to see a decent amount of 9ers fans at the game.

They will have some fans there, nothing like they had in LA. Most of the season ticket holders I tend to think will be using the tickets instead of selling them.

That's what Jerry sees this Sunday.

 

[StylisticS]

Yeah I think the crowd will be 95/5 Cowboys to Niners. Regular season will be a different story. But Los Angeles only likes one football team and it's the Raiders. There are probably just as many Cowboy fans and Niner fans in LA than they are Rams fans.

I think there will be a lot of 49ers fans at the stadium but not like it was the last time the 49ers played the Cowboys during the season.

As @Jake pointed out, the 49ers fans knew well in advance about the LA Rams game just like they knew well in advance about the last regular season game the 49ers played against the Cowboys in Dallas and that combined with AT&T Stadium being a vacation destination for some, it made it easy to plan and justify the expense of 49ers fans coming from places like Austin to the game.

With only a week to plan, it will be a lot harder to schedule days off, make travel plans, get good tickets, etc. while also costing a lot more than regular season games.

Remember, the 49ers were not even sure they were going to make the playoffs and even if they did, it was more likely they would play the Rams or Cardinals.

The 49ers are the only team in California that has stayed in one place >10 years, has a storied history, has gone to the superbowl multiple times in the last decade, etc. No surprise they had a ton of fans in LA.

Not the same as in Dallas.

Yeah There will be some but theres no way they do what they did in LA. And everyone wants to show that picture but yeah that was a terrible team and not the playoffs. I will say this if the game was in SF, cowboys fans in cali would make that a home game. Plus la from sf is 5 hour drive and you can drive back after the game, very doable. Flying to dallas is a ton of money and youre gonna have to do hotel. We’ll be fine

Good point. Not to say it can't happen but if its more than 30% red in the stadium i'd be highly shocked and disappointed....

 

[ChronicCowboy]

The 9ers are like the Cowboys in that they have fans everywhere. There will be a fair contingent of 9ers fans there Sunday. It’s our fans job to drown them out.

That's what Jerry sees this Sunday.

Jerry already said he would pay any amount of money for us to win another SB. I believe him. No doubt he loves money, so you're right there, but he already has enough of it to last 15 lifetimes. I'm not a betting man but if I was I would bet it all (not my soul though) he would rather have a stadium full of Cowboy fans than 49er fans. This is the playoffs. The game will be a sellout even if we was playing the Lions.

 

[Starforever]

WEAK!!

Who cares the fans are not on the field. The Cowboys have to go out right from the onset and punch them in the mouth,

Don't hold your breath, they'll be here in force. Ticket holders know that with Prescot leading this team it's a no-win situation so why attend the game, sell the tickets to offset your regular season sitting costs.

you dont look at after market ticket sites often, do you?

sure.... people that spend that money on season tickets already know who will win. Why dont you empty your bank account and wager it all on the Niners. You will even get some points. I mean, cmon, its sure thing.

no way in hell will it be 95% cowboys fans,
