The Houston Astros might have gotten off to a good start on the field against the Minnesota Twins, but things weren't all that great in the stands. Videos went viral of an angry brawl between two supporters in the stands at the Minute Maid Park.
The incident seemed to have occurred due to an argument between two fans in the audience. The fan seated in front seemed to be aggravated about some comment made by the person sitting behind him wearing a blue Astros hat and a Yordan Alvarez jersey.
Things got very heated between the pair. The supporter in front threw punches at the fan wearing the hat. Both got out of their chairs as panic ensued among the others in attendance.

Not the first instance of Houston Astros fans brawling during games
This is not the first incident involving Houston Astros fans getting into a rough confrontation during a game.
During the 2021 AL Division Series between the Houston Astros and the Chicago White Sox, a fan from the opposing team was struck by an Astros fan after he was provoked for supporting their opponents.
Last year during the World Series parade, two female fans from the Astros were seen scuffling, with people having to intervene to separate the two.
These kinds of incidents have painted the Astros fanbase in a bad light.
