A fan of the New Orleans Saints was arrested at Soldier Field on Monday Night when Bears chairman George McCaskey confronted him about taking his seat.

From the Chicago Tribune:

McCaskey had arrived at some of his seats in the stadium to find several Saints fans sitting in them, according to the team. McCaskey talked briefly with one of the fans and then headed to the concourse to get stadium security, the team said.

The Saints fan, Richard Kohnke, 58, then ran up behind McCaskey and shoved him. Following that, another Bears fan then came up and tackled Kohnke from behind, and we had ourselves a good old-fashioned brouhaha.

Kohnke was removed from the stadium and charged with simple battery for the incident.
