Niner Fans Roar in Seattle

MARTY. >>> WE ARE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE FOOTBALL THIS MORNING. THE 49ers WAKING UP INTO SEATTLE THIS MORNING KNOWING THAT THEY COULD BE ON THE WAY TO THE SUPER BOWL BY THE END OF THE DAY. REPORTING LIVE IN SEATTLE THIS MORNING IS KRON 4'S WILL TRAN WHO HAS BEEN BRAVING THE ELEMENTS OUT THERE NEAR THE STADIUM. HI, WILL. >> Reporter: WELL, MARTY, I AM IN FRONT OF CENTURYLINK. THE ONLY TEAM PREVENTING THE 9ers FROM GOING AHEAD AND BOOKING A TICKET TO THE SUPER BOWL ARE THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS. I GOT TO TELL YOU, OBVIOUSLY, THE SEAHAWKS, IF THEY DO WELL, THERE WILL BE A LOUD ROAR FROM THE FANS. DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THE 9ers HAVE A GREAT PLAY AND THERE IS ALSO A ROAR BECAUSE THERE IS A HUGE INVASION OF RED AND GOLD U DON'T BELIEVE ME? CHECK THIS OUT. HAD. >> WHO IS GOING TO GO? >> WOO! >> Reporter: BEFORE THE BATTLE ON THE FIELD THERE IS A BATTLE OF BRAGGING RIGHTS AT THE BARS. AS SOON AS 9ers FANS LANDED THEY WERE READY TO SHOW SEATTLE THAT THEY ARE GOLD BLOODED. >> THIS IS FANTASTIC HAVING ALL THE SUPPORT OF THE FANS. 49ER NATION, BABY. >> Reporter: IT'S NOT HARD TO GET LATHERED UP WHEN THE OWNER OF THE 49ers, JOHN YORK, IS IN FRONT OF A 9ers RALLY PASSING OUT TOWELS. >> EVERY PLACE WE HAVE BEEN THERE HAS BEEN 49ER FANS. SO THEY MAY NOT SELL US TICKETS, BUT WE GOT LOTS OF FANS HERE. >> Reporter: WHAT'S YOUR STAND FROM THEM? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS NOT SELLING TICKETS CALIFORNIANS? >> THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS. THAT'S THEIR DECISION. NOT MINE. >> Reporter: WHAT'S IT LIKE, THE RESURGENCE OF THE 9ers? IT'S ALIVE AND WELL IN THE BAY AREA. WE'VE HAD SOME ROUGH MOMENTS OVER THE PAST DECADE OR SO. NOW IT'S ON FIRE. WHAT'S THAT LIKE? >> WELL, THREE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES. I THINK WE'RE BACK. IT FEELS GOOD. THIS IS WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. >> Reporter: THE NUMBER OF 9ers FANS JUST EXPLODED BY THE MINUTE TAKING OVER THE STREETS, JAMMING INTO THE RESTAURANTS IN SEATTLE'S POPULAR PIONEER SQUARE. SEATTLE POLICE ENDED UP AT THE RESTAURANT ADMITTING TO ME THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE RALLY. AN OFFICER SAYS THEY GOT A CALL ABOUT A MINOR DISTURBANCE INVOLVING FANS, AND THAT'S HOW THEY STUMBLED ACROSS IT. >> KEEP IT CLASSY. COME ON. >> Reporter: THE FANS CONTROLLED THEMSELVES AND JUST HAD FUN AND FRIENDLY SMACK TALK WITH HAWKS FANS WHO WERE DRIVING BY. THEY SAY 9ers FANS TRAVEL WELL. REALLY? WAS THERE ANY QUESTION ABOUT THAT? SO, MARTY, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 9ers FANS. MANY OF THEM WILL BE AT THE STADIUM. OTHERS, THEY DIDN'T GET THE TICKETS, BUT THEY CAME TO SEATTLE JUST SO THEY COULD BE NEAR THE BALLPARK AT THE BARS AND THAT'S WHY THERE IS GOING TO BE A HUGE SECURITY PRESENCE FROM THE SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT INSIDE THE STADIUM, AROUND THE BALLPARK, AND YOU GOT TO BELIEVE THIS, KICK THIS OUT, MARTY, THEY ARE INCORPORATING THE MEDIA. THERE WILL BE A BLACK HAWK HELICOPTER IN THE AIR JUST TO KEEP A SURVEILLANCE ON WHAT'S GOING ON AS PART OF THE ANTI-TERRORISM. BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THIS HUGE GAME BETWEEN THE 9ers AND THE SEAHAWKS. I GOT A CHANCE TO TALK TO THE SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I ASKED THEM IS THE RIVALRY PLAYING ANY ROLE AND IS THAT GOING TO FORCE THEM TO STEP UP THEIR WORKS? HERE'S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY. >> YOU KNOW, MUCH HAS BEEN MADE ABOUT THE RIVALRY. >> Reporter: SURE. >> DID THAT PLAY A ROLE IN HOW YOU STAFFED? BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH HEAT. ESPECIALLY DOWN IN SAN FRANCISCO. IT'S ALMOST FUN TO HATE THE SEAHAWKS DOWN THERE. >> RIGHT. BASED ON THE RIVALRY, ARE YOU GOING THAT EXTRA MILE TO MAKE SURE BOTH FANS, EACH SIDE WILL BE SAFE FROM EACH OTHER? >> WE DIDN'T GIVE THAT ANY EXTRA CONSIDERATION. WE HAD THIS PLAN IN PLACE REGARDLESS OF WHO WAS GOING TO BE PLAYING IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. SO IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE 49ers, WHICH I THINK JUST IS KIND OF AN ADDED BONUS TO IT. BUT WE DIDN'T CHANGE OUR PLAN BECAUSE OF WHO WE'RE PLAYING. >> Reporter: THERE IS NO EXTRA HEAT? LIKE THEY HATE US, WE HATE THEM SO BAD, LET'S HAVE AN EXTRA HUNDRED POLICE OFFICERS TO MAKE SURE? >> NO. >> Reporter: ALSO, MARTY, I GOT TO TELL YOU THEY ARE INCORPORATING THE STANDARD PROCEDURE. THEY WILL HAVE A LOT OF SEATTLE POLICE OFFICERS DONNING 9ers GEAR AND ALSO SOME SEATTLE GEAR JUST IN CASE ANY 9ers FANS WANT TO CAUSE TROUBLE AS WELL.
