The Chicago White Sox weren’t the only ones who took a beating in their recent Crosstown Classic game against the Chicago Cubs.
A massive fight broke out among fans sitting in high-end box seats at the White Sox’s home field during the series opener on Tuesday, a full-on brawl complete with hair pulling, punching, and a nasty kick in the head.
The perfect end to the first Crosstown Classic series of the season.

“Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!” cried an onlooker as the attendees went at it, a reaction echoed as the clip of the fight went viral on social media.
“Who’s genius idea was it to put Sox and Cubs fans in the same suite??” joked @JPAmann.
“The crosstown classic fights always deliver,” added @ChuckNaso.
But just as the Cubs beat the White Sox in a 7-3 victory, the winner of the fight was equally decisive, Twitter collectively handing the crown to a dude sitting a few rows back, who continued enjoying his ice cream snack as the drama unfolded before him.
“Buddy just enjoying the fight and some ice cream,” observed @TheRealFredLee.
“It’s the fan that just sits there eating his ice cream that makes this a winner to me,” commented @RentsTweets.

So take it from this box seat cage match — even the richest Chicago sports fans can and will brawl for their favorite Windy City team.
