Santa Clara police reported 11 arrests, 45 ejections and two hospitalizations after a series of fights during Sunday's 49ers-Raiders game at Levi's Stadium, NBC Bay Area reported.
Both people who were hospitalized have been released, NBC Bay Area said. The San Francisco Standard reported that the 11 arrests included charges of fighting and disorderly conduct, and that police were investigating a social media video that appeared to show two fans unconscious in a parking lot after the game.
NBC Bay Area said the 49ers issued a statement condemning the violence and citing a zero-tolerance policy for fighting at the stadium. Police asked witnesses and anyone with video to call 408-615-4700 or an anonymous tip line at 408-615-4847. Related: the parking-lot video investigation and Sunday’s 38-17 49ers win.

Six candidates are running to succeed termed-out Mayor Lisa Gillmor on Nov. 3. The 49ers are spending $1.8 million backing Gary Ferraris and opposing Kathy Watanabe and David Kertes, part of more than $2.6 million the team has put into Santa Clara races this year.
Unofficial Nov. 9 returns showed Santa Clara Measure C, which lets the city use design-build contracting and raises the council review threshold to $250,000, passing with 74.9% yes.
Santa Clara's Measure C would rewrite public works contracting rules the city charter has carried since 1952, letting the city manager approve projects under $250,000 and allowing design-build and other best-value contracts. It needs a simple majority.
After a long Tuesday night meeting, the City Council told staff to prioritize stricter water-use and air-quality standards for new facilities, on a faster track than a broader policy rewrite that could run into late 2027.
