Viral Video Shows 49ers and Raiders Fans Brawling in Levi's Stadium Parking Lot; Santa Clara Police Say Investigation Is Active
A brawl among fans in a parking lot outside Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Santa Clara County, California, on the afternoon of November 8 was captured on video that has spread widely on social media. The Santa Clara Police Department says the incident is under active investigation. The San Francisco 49ers beat the Las Vegas Raiders 38-17 at the stadium that day.
According to local station KTVU, footage shared by X user Boss unkie shows a group of men pummeling each other in the parking lot, with multiple people knocked to the ground and at least two men sprawled flat, possibly unconscious. The Sun and several U.S. sports outlets reported that the clip drew more than 1.6 million views on X and showed at least seven people fighting.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Santa Clara police spokesperson Lt. Eric Lagergren said the department is aware of a video circulating online of an assault outside the stadium, confirmed the incident is part of an active investigation, and urged witnesses to contact the department at 408-615-4700 or leave an anonymous tip at 408-615-4847. KTVU likewise reported that police officials described the case as an active and ongoing investigation. As of late Sunday, no arrests had been reported in connection with the brawl.
As of publication, the identities of those involved, the extent of any injuries and whether anyone was hospitalized have not been released, and what triggered the confrontation has not been made public. GSM does not reproduce the viral footage; the account above follows the police statements and published descriptions, and injuries and responsibility remain for the investigation to establish.
According to KTVU, Sunday's game was the first Battle of the Bay since the Raiders moved to Las Vegas in 2020. NBC Sports reported it was also the Raiders' first game at Levi's Stadium in eight years. The two fan bases have a long history of hostility, and fan violence has marked this rivalry before.
