SAN FRANCISCO -- After violence marred a weekend pre-season game against the archrival Oakland Raiders, the San Francisco 49ers on Monday moved to strengthen security at home games, including banning tailgating after kickoff and warning fans that rowdy behaviour wont be tolerated. . In addition, 49ers CEO Jed York said he will recommend that the NFL call off the annual pre-season battle between the Niners and Raiders indefinitely. "This is a game where you have a rivalry situation and, unfortunately you have the worst segment from a very small segment of both fan bases that come and brings about this type of event," York said at a news conference at Candlestick Park. "Its our belief that we should recommend to the NFL that this game is at least postponed for some period of time." York later said, "Its unfortunate." Raiders CEO Amy Trask said in response that "we have a terrific working relationship with the 49ers organization, and we look forward to discussing and addressing this issue with them, in the same collaborative and co-operative manner we do all issues." The violence overshadowed the 49ers 17-3 win over the Raiders. "This game was like no other that I can remember, and Ive been a Niner fan my whole life," Police Chief Greg Suhr said. "Nobody could have been prepared for what happened on Saturday night." Suhr, Mayor Ed Lee and 49ers team officials said DUI checkpoints will be near the stadium after games as authorities will strictly forbid alcohol consumption at that time. They also plan to make police and security more visible inside and outside the stadium and urged fans to be more accountable for their actions. "To those of you who decide to come to our games, and it really doesnt matter what jersey you may be wearing, or what hat you may wear, or what team you may support, your behaviour on Saturday night is not welcome," said Jim Mercurio, the 49ers vice-president of stadium operations and security. "Dont come here. Youre not welcome." Earlier Monday, Lee said he was horrified as he watched violent fan confrontations at the game. Lee attended Saturdays game with Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, and both witnessed the brawling firsthand as spectators. "They were just constantly wailing at each other without regard to who was there," Lee said of the fans. "This is a family outing, for residents and visitors and people who want to see the game, not for people to look for people they dont like, then saying bad words, then getting into it." Two men who were initially listed as seriously injured in the violence were upgraded to fair condition on Monday. One of the victims, a 24-year-old man who reportedly was wearing a T-shirt reading "F--- the Niners," was shot several times in the stomach. Police said he managed to make it to stadium security for help despite the injuries. The other victim is a 26-year-old man who was beaten unconscious in an upper level stadium restroom during the fourth quarter. Another shooting victim was treated after receiving superficial facial wounds after the game. Police did not release the name of any victims. No arrests have been made. Police were seeking motives in the shootings, including whether the attacks were influenced by emotions involving the annual Battle of the Bay exhibition or possibly gang connections. Police said officers ejected at least 70 people from the stadium on Saturday, compared to about 20 at other games. The figure from Saturday did not include several dozen people ejected by team security, Mercurio said. There were 90 calls for medical service that day, a figure far higher than at a typical Niners home game, officials said. Police Chief Greg Suhr, a lifelong San Franciscan, called it an "aberration." Star running back Frank Gore said at 49ers headquarters that he was shocked to see so much violence. "I think some of the fans take it too serious," Gore said. "Its a football game. I dont think they should be fighting and shooting and all that." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello echoed similar concerns, saying the league deplored the activities. Trask added that the incidents were not acceptable to the Raiders or to any National Football League team and "our thoughts are with all affected." The Niners said attendance at Saturdays game was about 47,000, far less than the 60,000-seat capacity. Suhr said that there were 10 per cent more police officers on hand than usual at the game. That total increased by 30 per cent midway through the second quarter as the unruliness unfolded. The recent violence come nearly five months after San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow was severely beaten by two men in Los Angeles Dodgers gear outside Dodger Stadium after the archrivals season opener. Two men charged in the beating, Louie Sanchez, 28, and Marvin Norwood, 30, have pleaded not guilty. Stow, 42, a Santa Cruz paramedic, suffered severe brain injuries and remains hospitalized in serious condition.
