Fan Violence Big Problem At Candlestick Park

Fan Violence Big Problem At Candlestick Park

As SFist's 49ers reporter Daisy Barringer can attest, violence at Candlestick Park is an increasingly dangerous problem.

In addition to Barringer's assault, which you can read all about here, a 40-year-old Niners fan suffered a concussion as well as a broken arm and nose at the Stick on Sunday.

SFGate has more:

The assault on the man — who police originally identified as a 15-year-old boy, but later corrected to 40-year-old man — happened early on in the game. Police say a 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of beating the man for allegedly urinating in his car.

The above photo also showed a scuffle between two unidentified men at Sunday's game. Deplorable.

Security was beefed up at the soon-to-be-demolished stadium a couple of years ago after two shootings and a brutal beating erupted during a preseason game with the Oakland Raiders. Sounds like they could use more.
