Dec. 16--A New Orleans Saints fan was arrested at Soldier Field Monday night after he shoved Bears owner George McCaskey during an argument over seats, according to the team and police.
McCaskey had arrived at some of his seats in the stadium to find several Saints fans sitting in them, according to the team. McCaskey talked briefly with one of the fans and then headed to the concourse to get stadium security, the team said.
As McCaskey walked away, Richard Kohnke, 58, went after him and pushed McCaskey in the back, according to police and the team. A Bears fan then tackled Kohnke, who pushed McCaskey to the ground, according to the team.
Security arrived and Kohnke, an attorney from New Orleans, was ejected from the stadium and charged with simple battery, police said.
McCaskey did not require medical attention, the team said.
