Staggering number of arrests, ejections at Levi’s Stadium as fan fights mar Niners vs. Raiders game

The wild fistfights that marred the 49ers vs. Raiders game Sunday resulted in a plethora of ejections and arrests.

Santa Clara Police Department spokesperson Lt. Eric Lagergren told the California Post there were a 11 arrests and 45 ejections at Levi’s Stadium as San Francisco beat Las Vegas in a heated 38–17 matchup.

Lagergren stated “public safety staff and security staff responded to all known incidents of fan-on-fan violence,” but the SCPD is still investigating “several” of the brawls that were filmed and later shared to social media platforms.

“Incidents of violence at large-scale events in Santa Clara will not be tolerated,” Lagergren said. “The Department strictly enforces the law and holds individuals accountable for criminal conduct.  We will seek to arrest the individuals responsible for the fan-on-fan violence at the event.”

Lagergren encouraged fans who witnessed violence at the stadium to contact the SCPD at 408-615-4700 or the department’s Anonymous Tip Line at 408-615-4847.

Melees were seen throughout the game, but the most horrific one took place just outside of the stadium, when two fans and their apparent acquaintances threw haymakers in a terrifying scene.

Multiple people ended up on the pavement unconscious, and some of the combatants could be seen hitting at least one of the knocked-out men repeatedly when they were down.

The chaos was so prevalent, 49ers defensive end Keion White told reporters in the locker room after the team’s win that even San Francisco players noticed the action from the field level.

“We were seeing people fight in the stands,” he said.

Star offensive lineman Trent Williams, meanwhile, said he noticed an energy among patrons he hadn’t ever noticed before at Levi’s Stadium.

“The fan engagement with this game is nuts,” he said.

“It’s through the roof.”
