Per the Green Bay Press-Gazette a brawl broke out between Vikings fans and Packers fans at a bar near Lambeau Field yesterday. Stu, who was on a road trip for the Increasingly Lost Season, remains a suspect in our books. But here is the offcial news report:

One man was hospitalized and two others jailed today after a parking lot brawl that involved 20 to 30 people.

The 50-year-old victim was knocked unconscious when he tried to break up a fight in the parking lot at the Sideline Sports Bar, 1049 Lombardi Access Road, Ashwaubenon Public Safety Lt. Jody Crocker said. The first officers to arrive found the man bleeding from the head.

Officers charged a 40-year-old Lakeland, Minn., man with felony substantial battery after the 3:36 p.m. incident. They arrested the man after bystanders described him to police. Police radio broadcasts during the incident said authorities were seeking a man wearing a purple sombrero.

Authorities also charged a Green Bay man with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.

The man in the purple sombrero, dude. Worthy [redacted] adversary.
