Jurisprudence

A Pittsburgh fan who was severely beaten during a Raider-Steeler game at the Coliseum Sept. 23 accused the team of inciting violence through its “rough and rowdy image.”

In a Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit, Paul Albrecht also claimed that the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission encouraged fans to get drunk and unruly because it was good for business.

Shane Geringer, a former high school linebacker from Agoura, allegedly attacked Albrecht in an aisle of the Coliseum. Geringer, who with his father is also named as a defendant, is facing felony assault charges in connection with the incident.

Albrecht, who suffered a broken jaw in the attack, is seeking medical expenses, lost wages and unspecified punitive damages.
