Santa Clara police arrested eleven individuals and removed forty-five spectators from Levi’s Stadium following the Sunday contest between the San Francisco 49ers and the Las Vegas Raiders. The interventions followed multiple reports of fan-on-fan violence, including altercations captured on video and shared on social media platforms.
Arrest logs indicate that most charges were filed for disorderly conduct and fighting in a public place. Lt. Eric Lagergren of the Santa Clara Police Department confirmed that officers responded to every known incident of violence involving spectators during the event.
One video posted to Instagram on Sunday showed two men beginning to fight in a parking lot before others intervened. Two men in that footage appear to be knocked unconscious. While the video’s description identifies the participants as 49ers and Raiders fans, the Bay Area News Group could not independently verify that specific claim.
Lagergren stated that the department strictly enforces the law to hold individuals accountable for criminal conduct at large-scale events. He noted that some victims were not willing to cooperate with police investigations, which has kept several incidents under active review.
The Santa Clara Police Department is asking anyone with information to call 408-615-4700 or leave an anonymous tip at 408-615-4847.
