49ers-Raiders Game-Day Fights Update: Santa Clara Police Report 11 Arrests, Dozens Ejected
Multiple fan fights broke out on November 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Santa Clara County, California, during and after the San Francisco 49ers' home game against the Las Vegas Raiders. In a statement to CBS News Bay Area on November 9, the Santa Clara Police Department said several incidents of fan violence during and after the game were caught on camera and posted to social media, resulting in 11 arrests and dozens of people ejected from the stadium, with investigations still underway.
"Incidents of violence at large-scale events in Santa Clara will not be tolerated," police 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." Police said investigators were still working to identify others who engaged in violent acts. The department did not break down which of the 11 arrests corresponded to which incident, and it has not separately announced arrests tied to the parking-lot brawl video; GSM's earlier report that no arrests had been reported in connection with the brawl as of late Sunday referred to that parking-lot incident at that time.
A 49ers spokesperson told CBS News Bay Area the team has a zero-tolerance policy for violence at Levi's Stadium and that Santa Clara police, stadium security and guest services teams responded to several incidents throughout Sunday's game. According to KION, 49ers defensive end Keion White told reporters after the game that players could see fighting in the stands from the sideline: "We were seeing people fight in the stands."
The most widely shared footage showed the postgame parking-lot brawl, in which multiple people traded blows and at least two men were left on the ground, apparently possibly unconscious; the clip drew more than 1.6 million views on X. Santa Clara police spokesperson Lt. Eric Lagergren previously said the department was aware of the video of an assault outside the stadium, that the case was part of an active investigation, and urged witnesses to call 408-615-4700 or leave an anonymous tip at 408-615-4847. As of publication, the identities, injuries and cause in the parking-lot brawl have not been separately released.
The 49ers won the game 38-17. It was the first Battle of the Bay since the Raiders moved to Las Vegas in 2020 and the Raiders' first game at Levi's Stadium in eight years. GSM does not reproduce the viral fight footage; the account above follows the police statements and published descriptions.
