In the upper level of Rogers Place last night, nearly an entire section of fans were separated as a massive fight broke out.
At the beginning of the video, you can see multiple Oilers fans fighting in the section of seats. Near the upper level, a fan in a white shirt gets tossed and falls down three rows of seats. Everywhere the camera pans, fans are either trying to get away from the commotion, or joining in the fight themselves.
The latter part of the video shows how the conflict started in the stands. The fan who got tossed down the rows of seats was in an argument with a fan in front of him, and things escalated when he kicked the back of the seat. The fight was clearly long and moving around, as the two fans who initiated it ended up nearly on the other side of the section.
In game three of the series, another incident occurred in the upper level where a security guard was filmed swearing at a child and provoking a fight with the Father.
Rogers Place has certainly been a loud and raucous atmosphere through this playoffs especially. It always makes for a great atmosphere, but the fan fighting really needs to slow down - it can't become a thing that occurs every game.
