I have heard of cats running on the field at either baseball or football game but is rare for a raccoon to run into the stands at Empower Field in Denver Colorado on Sunday during the football game between the Denver Broncos versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The raccoon was eventually captured by both the authorities at the Empower Field and Colorado Animal Control and ejected from the football stadium unharmed. Link is upi.com/7971728405951 via @upi.com

@rakski Raccoons are sports fans as well.

The thing must have been terrified. I love raccoons, even if they do get in the trash and make a mess. They’re cute!

That is true since it is not everyday that raccoons are seen in sports arenas stands area.

The poor raccoon probably wanted to either watch the game or participate,

I guess the poor thing was very confused finding himself in the middle of so many people.

So am I since most of the time when an animal runs on the field, the animal leaves under his or her power safely.

Ejected out? Perhaps, they should have relocated it further away from the stadium, as it, for sure, will be back, now that it knows, there is a lot of scrap foods, dropped by fans, that it can eat there.

You are right that the raccoon will return to the football stands to eat leftover food.
