I turned off blog commenting. How do I hide the "comments are closed" text?

I see where you may change Blog Commenting to "closed" which turns off the feature on Blog pages, but it leaves an annoying and unnecesary Box at the bottom of the blog that says "Comments are closed," which to me, looks terrible for the user. Please tell me there is a way to remove or hide this box? Or is there another way to turn off the comment feature?

@nk729 Add the following to your site css (either access the global site css via the Site Editor: Themes > Edit HTML/CSS and add the code below to it or modify just the blog page css via the Site Editor: Pages > SEO > Header Code and place the code within html style tags).

#commentArea {
    display: none;
}
