Stadium brawl sparks lawsuit

October 3, 2011 - 3:01pm

KANSAS CITY—A Warrensburg, Mo., man who claims he was pummeled by the rowdy home crowd during a 2009 matchup of the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs has accused the Chiefs' stadium security of turning a deaf ear to the attack, then further assaulting and insulting him because he was a Raiders fan.

In a lawsuit filed Sept. 19 in a Jackson County, Mo., Circuit Court, Clifford Trammell claims he was punched in the face, kicked and thrown down two rows of seats during a beer-fueled brawl between Chiefs and Raiders fans at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 20, 2009. Mr. Trammell, a Raiders fan, said four of his teeth were knocked out as a result of the fall, and that several Chiefs fans continued stomping on him as he lay on the ground.
Security guards

According to the suit, Mr. Trammell saw several security guards standing nearby as he was being assaulted, but the guards allegedly did nothing to stop the attack. It was only after he was able to escape the pile, court documents said, that the guards acted, slamming Mr. Trammell into the ground.

When Mr. Trammell asked why he was being slammed into the ground, an unidentified security guard allegedly told him that “is what you get for wearing that (stuff),” referring to the Raiders apparel he was wearing. Mr. Trammel was taken to the stadium's holding station and issued a ticket for disturbing the peace. That charge was later dropped.

A spokesman for the Chiefs declined to commend on the lawsuit.
‘Dangerous condition'

Mr. Trammell is suing the Chiefs organization and the unidentified Chiefs fans who assaulted him for battery, premises liability and negligence, claiming that the team failed to warn of the “dangerous condition within Arrowhead Stadium of fans consuming alcohol,” that fans would “be allowed to drink too much or become intoxicated,” and that the team was “not willing nor able to protect or guarantee the safety of ticketholders from violent crime or physical harm.”

The plaintiff has asked for a minimum of $25,000 in punitive damages, plus compensation for legal fees and other costs.

It's only a damn game people. Not worth jacking somebody up over.

I bet the incident is on the security cameras. After working a few games in the security booth at MU I was surprised at what you can see w/ the cameras they have at Mizzou. I imagine it's better at Arrowhead!

The question will be whether the Chiefs have a right to refuse to give the footage and let the footage be used as evidence against them. I just don't see it happening unless footage from people in the stands starts hitting up youtube.

They showed a Dateline NBC a story on the Giants and how they were sued because one of the fans at a game had drank like 25 beers and was so drunk he couldn't stand, but was able to drive his car and killed a little girl after leaving the stadium. The girls dad got millions from the Giants and the NFL. They were shown to have been negligent. I'm telling you, it's going to get harder and harder to have a couple beers at the game because there are too many dickheads who can't control themselves.

All this guy needs is a sympathetic jury, and the Chiefs will pay up. Probably will be settled out of court.

Actually, most of the money was levied against the beer vendor, not the NFL or the NY Giants. In any event, there is no way for this guy to prove that alcohol had any part in him getting his ass kicked.

Could he sue the Raiders for being responsible for him being a fan?
