In a statement about the horrifying scenes at their home venue during their matchup with the Raiders, the Niners reiterated they want to prevent similar situations from occurring moving forward.
“We have a zero-tolerance policy for violence at Levi’s Stadium,” the team said of the alarming number of brawls via a spokesperson.
“The Santa Clara Police Department, our security and guest services teams responded to several incidents throughout Sunday’s game. We are grateful to all personnel for their swift response and dedication to maintaining a safe environment for all fans.”
Fistfights broke out throughout the Niners’ 38-17 win over the Raiders, with the most terrifying occurring in their stadium’s parking lot after the game ended.
Multiple fans lost consciousness during the melee, and one man shockingly took multiple blows to the face after he had been knocked out.
Santa Clara Police Department spokesperson Lt. Eric Lagergren said a total of 11 arrests were made while 45 patrons were ejected.
Lagergren added that “several incidents are still under active investigation.”
“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 anyone who witnessed fan violence to reach out to the department at 408-615-4700.
