Despite playing on their home turf, some Rams officials worry that players will look into the stands and see a sea of red-jerseyed 49ers fans.

There's reason to be concerned since that was the scene when the two teams faced off in Inglewood on Jan. 9.

Earlier this week, Rams head coach Sean McVay implored fans to stick around, saying, "Don't sell your tickets!"

But the appeal may have been in vain. Ticket seller Vivid Seats reports that approximately 65% of sales today are to 49ers fans.

Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m., and the winner of today’s match-up will play in Super Bowl LVI. They will face off with the winner of today’s AFC game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs.
