The beat-down of a fan after the 49ers game last Monday has Santa Clara City Council members expressing serious concerns about safety at the billion-dollar Levi’s Stadium — with two even suggesting that the city consider halting alcohol sales at halftime.
“We really need to send a message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated,” said Councilwoman Lisa Gillmor.
She and Councilwomen Teresa O’Neill and Debi Davis have asked that time be set aside at Tuesday’s council meeting to discuss “possible actions to address health and safety issues at the stadium.”
The call was driven by cell phone video posted on Facebook after the game showing a man in a Minnesota Vikings jersey on the pavement being punched and kicked in the head as a handful of fans in 49ers gear surrounded him.
