Unruly NFC Championship fans face ouster from game
By Beth Duff-Brown, Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Don’t yell obscenities, don’t flip the bird—and don’t even think about insulting anyone’s mother.

The San Francisco 49ers and the NFL have adopted extraordinary security measures for Sunday’s NFC championship against the New York Giants after New Orleans Saints fans complained of harassment by unruly 49ers faithful last week.

Undercover police will be dressed in Giants’ garb and on the lookout for nasty fans. Giants ticketholders will be handed a card as they enter Candlestick Park with details on how to contact police if they feel threatened. And more security cameras and undercover police officers will be in place to identify abusive fans.

The field at Candlestick looks like it's in horrible condition -- helps the 49ers a little by impeding the Giants' pass rush, but may give the NY receivers an extra advantage, as well.
