At least your fan base made a wonderful showing of support.

The Lams in LA are begging fans to not sell tickets to 49er fans.

They are like the abusive spouse.... left LA for St Louis... then returned to LA to make more money after poaching the Chargers from San Diego so the two teams could build a stadium.... then get upset when an area with MORE money buys the tickets when our team plays there.

If it wasn't so unPC, I'd call them the nickname for cats...

The Los Angeles Rams want to ensure that next Sunday's NFC Championship Game is indeed a home-field advantage. The Rams will play host to the 49ers in a rematch of San Francisco's 27-24 overtime win in Week 18 in front of a SoFi Stadium crowd that included plenty of 49ers fans.
Through Ticketmaster, the Rams informed ticket seekers that public sales for the NFC Championship Game will be restricted to residents of the Greater Los Angeles region, via The Mercury News. Residency will be based on credit card billing address at checkout.
Oh the horror!

The inflation for meals out just blows me away...

$18 for a cup of soup menu.bevri.com

$21 for egg & cheese toast menu.bevri.com

I guess that is what happens when you have a good memory and it doesn't seem that long ago when I left HP (in 1998) with my last regular paycheck and could get a Chinese lunch special with tip for $6 in Palo Alto...

My guess is these restaurants are targeting the top 5% who spend most of what they make...
