Seahawks' War on 49ers Fans Extends to Billboards

No pro-49er billboards are allowed near the sanctified Seattle field.

No tickets for 49ers fans from the Seattle Seahawks organization.

And no billboards, either.

The two miles around CenturyLink Field near the downtown Seattle waterfront has been declared a "49er-free zone," according to the Seattle Times.

"Only pro-Hawks billboards will be allowed" within that radius of the "12th Man's" home base, the newspaper reported.

The closest a pro-49ers billboard has gotten to the Seahawks' home turf is a digital billboard on Interstate 5, 30 miles south of Seattle.

And that billboard appears to have suffered a "mysterious" electronic malfunction, according to reports.

Seattle: Why so serious?

There appears to be nothing but bad blood between the 49ers and their NFC West rivals to the north, from a feud between head coaches on down to a very real dislike between fans.

So: what's your deal?

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Sunday. As if you needed a reminder.
