Warneke described the scene as “very chaotic” and said police don’t know what led up to the fight. He said police did not know whether the men had attended the game.
The Denver Post reports there were multiple witnesses.

Stadium Management Co. issued an email stating that it is working with authorities.
The Broncos lost 27-20 to the San Diego Chargers.
The stabbing Thursday is just one of several recent incidents involving football fans.
