For the second Sunday in succession, fans wanting to see the Rams play will have to show up at the Edward Jones Dome. Although the local-television deadline isn’t until noon Thursday, team officials acknowledged Wednesday afternoon that the game against the 49ers has no chance of selling out and will be blacked out here. About 7,000 tickets remain for the final home game of the season.
