Police: 30 arrests during final regular season 49ers game at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park

SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco police say 30 people were arrested during the 49ers’ final regular season game at Candlestick Park.

Police did not say what the arrests were for at Monday night’s game, when the 49ers clinched a playoff spot after beating the Atlanta Falcons 34-24. The San Francisco Chronicle reported (http://bit.ly/1cvjPYp) that at least some of the people were arrested on suspicion of stealing seats from the stadium.

In addition to the arrests, police said 81 people were ejected and seven people were cited.

Police Chief Greg Suhr had said earlier that fans could expect 50 per cent more officers at Monday’s game than a regular night game.

The Niners began playing at The Stick in 1971. The team is moving to a new, $1.2 billion stadium next season.
