SF Police Arrest Dozens Of Rowdy, Drunk Fans At 49ers Playoff Game

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- San Francisco police were busy as the San Francisco 49ers were toppling the Green Bay Packers in a National Football League Divisional playoff game Saturday night at Candlestick Park, police said.

While the 49ers were working towards a 45-31 victory over the Packers, police ejected 92 spectators, Sgt. Michael Andraychak said.

Another 25 at the game were arrested for public intoxication, Andraychak said. Two additional arrests were made for an auto burglary, he said.

Following the game, two people were arrested for driving under the influence, Andraychak said.

With the win, the 49ers advanced to its second consecutive NFC Championship Game, Jan. 20 at 12:30 p.m.

The 49ers will either host its NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks, or travel to Atlanta to take on the NFC South and top-seeded Falcons.
