Female Texans fan bloodied at SoFi in a fight during Rams game

A bloody woman and her male companion were escorted from the Sofi stadium during the fourth quarter of the opening of the Rams season on Sunday with two other spectators who had engaged in the same violent altercation.

The woman and her companion wore jerseys from Houston’s Texans, which the Rams beat 14-9. Video clips on social networks showed her face covered in blood when the security agents led her from section 428 above the goal area.

The incident seemed to start with words and push between the woman in the jersey n ° 99 of the legend of the Texans retired JJ Watt and a woman wearing a RAMS jersey. The altercation has intensified, the man wearing jersey n ° 7 of the quarters of the Texans CJ Stroud punching a cup of beer on the woman’s head in the jersey of the Rams.

Two men in the Rams jerseys, a line above the fight stood and started to push and grasp the two fans of the Texans until the security staff arrives about two minutes from the incident.

The two men in the row above deleted their jerseys – one of the former Rams Great Aaron Donald and the other of the receiver Rams Puka Nacua – but an additional security personnel arrived, handcuffed the two men and escorted them.

The Sofi stadium, which opened in 2020, was prey to fights. Oakland chief Daniel Luna was in a medical induction coma for weeks after the paramedical paramedics of the County Fire Service of Los Angeles discovered him lying on the ground in the lot of the stadium during the NFC championship match between the Rams and the 49ers of San Francisco.

It took three days and an investigation of the time before the Inglewood authorities recognized the incident. Bryan Alexis Cifuentes, 33, was accused of a criminal battery leader with serious bodily injuries after the video showed that he had dropped Luna with a punch. Cifuentes argued not guilty and the investigators determined that Luna had started the altercation when he pushed Cifuentes.

Luna continued the Rams and the County of Los Angeles, saying that because he was drunk, the deputies should have put him in a form of police custody after being refused the entry of the stadium because he had no ticket.

The trial was rejected by Inglewood Superior Court judge, Ronald F. Frank, who wrote that “the Sheriff department did not create the danger in which the applicant found himself. [Luna] alleged that he was already intoxicated when he was initially detained. The sheriffs have not taken any positive action which has contributed, increased or modified the risk which would have otherwise existed. »»

At least four fights broke out during the charge matches at the Sofi stadium. The most recent was a fight in a match against the Raiders in September 2024. A video provided to KTLA shows showed a group of fans of loaders fighting a shirtless man.

A few moments before Dallas’ loaders and cowboys clashed in Sofi in 2023, the teams escaped in the midfield after several cowboys crossed the defensive backs of the loaders while they were performing pre-match exercises.

Several fights broke out on the field during the match, one of which on an outing of hall involving a dozen fans or more. No fans has been arrested, according to the Inglewood police service.

After a match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chiefs in November 2022, a man was thrown on a balustrade. A person who recorded a video of the incident told Kabc-Tv Channel 7 that the fight had started after a man had won another. A third man tried to intervene and was thrown on the balustrade on the concrete steps below.

A survey in 2022 with more than 3,000 fans by Sportsbook Review concluded that many NFL stadiums are more violent than the Sofi stadium and that fans generally feel safe to attend games on the site.

Crimes in and around stadiums occur too often, with 39.2% of respondents in the survey who said they had witnessed or were victims of at least one crime in or outside a stadium. Only 5.4% of fans had witnessed a crime to Sofi, and only one of those questioned said they had been victims of a crime in a Rams or Chargers home match.

Sportsbook Review updated its ranking last week, Sofi moving from the 15th to the 11th most dangerous stadium in the NFL. The M&T Bank Stadium, which houses the Baltimore ravens, is classified as the most dangerous; The Highmark stadium, which houses the Buffalo Bills, is classified as safe.
