Female Fan Brawl Breaks Out at NC State vs. Syracuse Game
The heated showdown between NC State Wolfpack and Syracuse Orange at Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday was not limited to the football field. An altercation erupted in the stands, demonstrating that unruly behavior is not restricted to the NFL. A verbal dispute between two women quickly turned physical, drawing the attention of nearby fans.
A woman wearing black leather jeans and a tank top knocked off another woman‘s cowgirl hat, leading to the incident near the goalpost. The person sat in a higher bleacher row with her hands behind her back. The move was intended to provoke but ultimately resulted in a significant error.
The first woman tumbled off the bleachers as the woman in bell bottoms removed her hands behind her back and delivered a swift right hook. She grabbed the other woman’s hair and lowered her as she fell. As bystanders intervened, the altercation ended quickly, and no further punches were thrown.
It was surprising that neither of the women wore any NC State or Syracuse colors or gear, making it unclear which team they were supporting, if any.
Despite having a career-high night of 329 passing yards, NC State quarterback CJ Bailey couldn’t secure a win for the Wolfpack on the field. Syracuse emerged victorious with a 24-17 victory, improving their record. Kyle McCord threw for 346 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Orange to a 5-1 start.
The football game was action-packed, but the brawl in the stands reminded us that lousy fan behavior is not exclusive to the NFL. Although the incident was brief, it left a lasting impression on those who witnessed it, overshadowing an otherwise exciting game.
