The University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, was inaugurated in 2006 and opened in the same year, with a capacity of 63,000 spectators, a modern design and high-tech materials that make the course one of the league's most advanced examples of the new century.

Although the name is "University of Phoenix Stadium", in fact, this stadium is not directly related to the University of Phoenix, but is just the title, and the University of Phoenix has its own home stadium.

This modern stadium hosts a wide range of events, including concerts, E-matches, soccer matches and basketball matches. However, its primary purpose has always been a football arena, and in 2007 it became the home of the NCAA's annual Fiesta-Bol and, more importantly, the home of the Arizona Cardinals.

As the league's oldest team, the Arizona Cardinals have a very deep heritage, and although they have only been in Glendale for less than two decades, they still have a large number of die-hard fans in Arizona, and their home attendance has always been a comforting experience, truly giving people a sense of Arizona's obsession and fanaticism for football.

On February 3, 2008, the University of Phoenix Field became the venue for the first Super Bowl in the city's history, and in that game, they witnessed the New York giants breaking the New England Patriots' attempt to reach the top of the season unbeaten season, and Eli Manning led the team to a comeback to win the Super Bowl in the final moments of the game.

The following season, the Arizona Cardinals made history by reaching the Nations League finals, at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. The game drew 70,000 spectators — far more than the stadium could fit — but it was still well organized and saw the Cardinals beat the Hawks into the Super Bowl showdown.

Since then, the University of Phoenix has been one of the league's most popular courses, and rumors say they are trying to bid to host the Super Bowl in two years' time.

However, the Arizona Cardinals' record this season is not satisfactory, and in the first half of the season, the home attendance rate has always been only about 80 to 85 percent, far below the level of the peak; In the second half of the season, the team's performance began to pick up, and home attendance gradually climbed, and the closer you got to the playoffs, the more enthusiastic the fans became.

Today, the home fans are boiling again as they take on the visiting San Francisco 49ers and are looking to beat their opponents again after the 11th week of the regular season to achieve a season double and firmly hold the initiative in the playoffs.

With three hours to go, the area around the stadium was already buzzing with activity.

Glendale is a small city with a population of less than 220,000, and its quiet and laid-back life revolves entirely around rugby, and every home game day is the biggest carnival day in the city; Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, is just 14 kilometers away, and countless fans have driven from Phoenix to Glendale to watch the Cardinals play.

So, on the day of the game, the long queue of cars stretched all the way from the parking lot of the University of Phoenix Field to Phoenix and Glendale, as if all the residents of the town had poured out of their nests, and it was a rare spectacle that was truly exciting.

When Ryan Baldwin and his party arrived at the court, it was already 12 p.m. Western Time, and there was only a full hour left before the start of the game, which meant that they had to pick up the pace or there would be no way to complete the pitch before the official game.

It's an away game, they don't have an advantage in the first place, and it's a blessing to be able to buy tickets; In order to play against the home fans, they need a little extra help. So, they had to get into the stadium early.

For this much-anticipated revenge battle, there were as many as 1,500 away supporters organized by Chris Wilson and Jonathan Baldwin alone; Other scattered fans who came to Glendale, who joined forces with other organizations to cheer, and many more, according to incomplete statistics, more than 8,000 fans flocked to the small city.

On the one hand, the importance of this game is self-evident, and the smell of gunpowder permeates the entire network; On the other hand, because the away game is located in Arizona, it only takes 12 hours to drive from San Francisco to Glendale, which makes it easier to fly, and the time and cost of the game make it feasible to watch the game away.

As a result, the 49 people who collectively went to watch the game away ushered in a new frenzy.

The powerful momentum even made it to ESPN's news coverage, becoming the biggest highlight of the week.

Jonathan pushed Ryan's wheelchair and quickly walked through the crowd, meeting at the entrance of the stadium, and then a large surging white could be seen in the distance, and they didn't need to identify it, they knew that it was the base camp of the assembly—

The Arizona Cardinals' home jersey is dark red, while the San Francisco 49ers' away jersey is white...... Aggro.

Before they could get closer, Jonathan and Ryan sensed that something was wrong, the crowd was surging and scorching unexpectedly, the scene seemed to be chaotic, and the tense atmosphere burst into a strong smell of gunpowder, as if they could smell the smell of sulfur smoke now.

There was a faint murp of trash talk, and the next moment, the conflict spiraled out of control. First, two people began to fight, then one person joined the battle, and then one person joined the battle, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people joined the battle, the scene was chaotic, and there was a continuous expansion of the situation.

The fans around the periphery of the conflict began to push each other, and the foul words rose higher and higher, and the tempers of the fans on both sides were extremely hot, and the previously suppressed anger on Twitter seemed to have finally found an outlet in real life, and both sides rolled up their sleeves and burst out into an undying decision.

"Grass!" Ryan cursed fiercely, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush into the fight, completely forgetting the fact that he was in a wheelchair.

But Jonathan stopped Ryan and said, "Calm down, we need to calm down. ”

After causing massive chaos on the road, they are undoubtedly the underdogs.

For one, the number of fans is not dominant at all; Second, after a large number of fans are arrested, it is likely to affect the on-site support of the away game, which is the end of the game. Even those two points aside, the most important point is what if the police/prosecutors threw the rioting fans in the detention center and then forbade them to watch the game?

You don't need to shut them down for forty-eight hours, you just need to shut them down for one game, and when the game is over, you can release them, which is uncomfortable enough.

The more chaotic it is, the more you need to be calm; The more urgent it is, the more it needs to be calm.

Jonathan took a deep breath and said quickly, "Ryan, I need your help, the team needs our help. ”

Ryan didn't know why, but nodded impulsively, "Okay, no problem!" ”

"After rushing into the crowd, all you have to do is pretend to be extremely uncomfortable and weak, and I'll take care of the rest." Jonathan said quickly, and then without waiting for Ryan to react, because the scene was already starting to get out of control, then Jonathan pushed Ryan's wheelchair and quickly rushed into the crowd, "Emergency (911), emergency, emergency. ”

……

Nate Chandler only felt like a small sampan in the stormy sea, he tried to control the scene, but one after another huge waves smashed down on his head and face, and even parried powerlessly, let alone resisted, he could only go with the flow in the waves, this deep sense of powerlessness tied his hands and feet, and there was a deep sense of frustration.

However, then Nate's eyes fell on his friends, angry and funny, neither did they drink or cheer.

Danny Reese waved a fist the size of a bowl and smashed it into the other party's stomach, his eyes wide to the extreme like a copper bell, revealing a brutal ferocity, and his mouth was babbling, "Mother/Cannon!" Mother/Cannon! Let me tell you well, who is the mother/cannon? Shameless mother, cannon! ”

The Cardinals fan on the other side was completely unable to parry, his hands were waving like noodles, he couldn't use his strength at all, he couldn't hit the target, he just danced meaninglessly, he looked like a weak aquatic weed, and he couldn't lift his head under Danny's monstrous rage.

Two other Cardinals fans tried to come up to help, using the numerical advantage to crush Danny's arrogance, and one of them smashed Danny into the temple without hesitation.

But Danny dodged with a quick short body, then slammed his shoulder into a collision, and then knocked the man's center of gravity unsteadily, kicking back and forth, and falling into the crowd in embarrassment.

Danny didn't give up, spat at the other party, and cursed fiercely, "Mother/Cannon! ”

Nate can understand Danny's anger, and even support Danny's anger.

Today, the fans of the Arizona Cardinals are completely out of control, and at the beginning, the fans of both sides just shouted at each other and supported their teams; But gradually, the rednecks couldn't suppress their emotions and launched personal attacks, and some even cursed, "That Asian kid is a/fart/stock girl/cannon, now it's better to go back to the slums on the other side of the Pacific......"

Before the words could be finished, the conflict broke out.
