"People get, you know, people get loud, they get fired up. That's what sports are about. It's what makes sports great, as a matter of fact, you know, the passion that's involved with it. You go to Packers games, you see it a lot. But it's, you know, turning into a physical altercation between parents at this level, I think, is pretty rare," Lt. Mark Wery of the Fox Valley Metro Police Department told WGBA.

Municipal citations were issued to Cassandra Hamill, 33, for disorderly conduct, Shannon Volkman, 39, for disorderly conduct and battery, and to Nicole Volkman, 33, for disorderly conduct and battery.
