It remains to be seen whether the first Raiders game at Levi’s Stadium in eight years matched or exceeded the 32 arrests made in the building in 2018.
In the parking lot, there was some mayhem.
Via Grant Young of the New York Post, video has surfaced of a brawl involving several people. Multiple individuals seemed to be rendered unconscious.
Fan violence resulted in Raiders and 49ers suspending their annual postseason game after the 2011 season. They play in the regular season at least once every four years, with the Raiders visiting the 49ers at least once every eight years.

For folks who value their safety and well-being, scenes like the one that played out on Sunday are all the more reason to watch the games at home.
