Yes, they have been one of the leagues premier brands since 1981. No question. And yes we all know a ton of Northern California natives that live in the LA area.
But when the Rams played at Levi midseason the 49ers were 3-5 and the place was 2/3 full. It was. A good friend of mine in one of the suites there for work sent me pictures. With several thousand Rams fans.
If the 49ers had come into SoFi in week 18 at 6-10 I can guarantee that the fan contingent would have been a fraction what it was. They are on a roll and the 49ers fan base is notoriously known for bandwagoning. They are. Not that many teams are not subject to the same. But that is a part of this. We shouldnt act like they are the Packers or Steelers or Vikings or whoever. Heck, I live in New England and have seen the major cracks in that fanbases foundation appear less than 24 months since Brady left. Believe me.
