Just How Violent Do Broncos Fans Get During Football Season?

Well, they're not as bad as Raiders fans! And, that's not bias. There's research to back the number of arrests linked to NFL fans across the country. 

There's a lot of emotion, competition, and usually some alcohol fueling disorderly rage at sporting events, and sometimes that can escalate to extreme violence.

According to The Washington Post, between 2011 and 2015, these teams' fans were the worst behaved when it came to arrests at stadiums: The Chargers had an average of about 25 arrests per game; Giants and Jets, 22; Raiders, 18.
