GIFs of Fans Running on Fields
It took this stadium worker a little while to catch up to the caped
bandit, but once he did he made it count. That’s a pretty hard tackle.
We’re not
supposed to like it when fans run onto the field
and interrupt sporting events. We’re supposed to be perturbed and
indignant and call these people “idiots” and “morons.” But the fact is,
we (i.e., the majority)
do seem to like it. Sporting events aren’t sacred religious ceremonies. They’re, uh,
sporting events.
And of all the fan field invasions I’ve written about or witnessed in
person over the years—and I’ve written about and/or seen a lot—not once
have seen a negative reaction from the crowd. On the contrary,
the crowd always cheers. So maybe you think I’m crazy, and that most people
don’t secretly enjoy fan field invasions. But thousands of people who actually witness these things in person beg to differ.
So why do I bring all this up? Because today I present you with this
list of GIFs featuring fans running onto the field. Go ahead and
criticize me for glorifying these idiots if you want. But nothing I do
here on the internet can encourage these people more than the cheers
they receive from 30,000 fans in the stadium.
If, on the other hand, you don’t take everything so seriously, go
ahead and enjoy you guilty pleasure. It’ll be our little secret.
17. Stupider than Most
Are field intruders stupid? Sure they are. And this guy is actually
stupider than most. He didn’t just run onto the field; he ran right out
through the middle of the play. The dude could have been killed if he’d
been hit by the helmet of a 225 pound football player.
16. Blue Jays Sprinter
Here’s a nice bird’s eye view. For a second there you think this guy
might just elude security and make it all the way to the left field
wall. However, I guess he ran out of gas.
15. The 110-Yard Dash
This field invader at the Hyundai Sun Bowl makes the most of his
illegal action by going endzone to endzone, and he was smart enough to
go in-between plays. Plus he breaks a tackle—look closely and you’ll see
one of the USC players stick out a foot and try to trip the guy.
14. Mr. Man Boobs
Do they make breast implants for men? If so, I think this streaker from a Brazilian soccer game might have them.
13. Tackled by the Khaki Police
Did you notice how the guy getting tackled and the guys chasing after
him are all wearing the same thing—khaki pants and white polo shirts?
It kind of seems like the guy running onto the field is part of the
stadium staff, and he just lost his mind or something, doesn’t it?
11. The KC Rosin Thief
This one just happened earlier this season. A Kansas City Royals
fans, bored to death from years of terrible Kansas City Royals baseball,
decided to liven things up by getting a pretty unique souvenir—the
rosin bag from the pitchers mound.
10. Mr. Friendly
Judging by his colorful wrist bands, this guy is obviously an Ecuador
fan. However, he has the utmost respect for Team Germany, so he goes
and shakes hands with them, too.
That’s true sportsmanship right there.
9. Elusive Green Man
I guess when you’re wearing a full-body spandex leotard there’s just
not much for those grounds crew guys to grab onto. Of course, this dude
is pretty fast, and he does have an accomplice out there in center
field. But all-in-all this is a pretty memorable escape.
8. Shirtless Floridian
A shirtless guy at a football game in Florida, acting like an idiot? I’m shocked.
Seriously, though, this is one of the least ambitious field intruders
I’ve ever seen. Kurt Warner could break tackles better than that, and
he could barely move.
7. Naked Goal
Ahh, he fell right into their trap.
6. Saefco Streaker
I guess this guy was just happy he made it to second base, so he
didn’t want to get greedy and try making it to third, which was very
sensible. You never want to make the first out of an inning at third
base.
5. All-Star Tweeter
You just have to love the takedown of the All-Star tweetin’ field
invader. The kid basically comes to a full stop and looks fully prepared
to hand himself over to the authorities, but the first guy on the scene
looks like he’d been training for this moment his whole life, and he
wasn’t about to let the kid off without a bone-crushing body slam.
4. Faux Ref
None of the players even notice this guy because he’s wearing a
clever disguise. The refs do, though, and the one in the white hat
points very passionately for him to leave the field. Cause yeah, that’ll
teach him.
3. The Flash
Apparently the Flash is a Baltimore Orioles fan.
2. The Chicken Tackle
Just a nekkid dude getting tackled by a guy in a chicken suit at a New Zealand rugby game. No big deal.
1. The College World Series Girls
MLB’s All-Star interruption wasn’t the first one that was
premeditated on Twitter. During the final game of the 2013 College World
Series, a girl from Omaha named Kayleigh Hill tweeted, “If everyone
chips in to the $1500 fine between me Emily and torrie, we will run on
the field. Guys I actually really wanna.”
Sure enough, Kayleigh, Emily, and Torrie did run onto the field. And
Kayliegh documented the whole thing on Vine. Sadly, that video was
deleted shortly thereafter—but one of the most epic selfies of all-time
lives on as an animated GIF.

Your standard issue military fatigues and combat boots have
come a long way. Today they are more comfortable for the good men and
women who wear them than they have ever been before. That said, they’re
designed for battle, not basketball. So you wouldn’t necessarily expect a
member of the United States Air Force to [...]
Ever since Randy Johnson vaporized a bird with one of his
fastballs at a spring training game in 2001, birds and pitchers have had
strained relationships. However, last night in Oakland, L.A. Angels
relief pitcher Dane De La Rose decided to take a very important step in
healing this long-standing rift. In the bottom of [...]
NFL training camps are now underway, which means you die-hard
football fans will be rescued from the baseball-only hell that is summer
in just six short weeks. As for me, well, I love baseball, so I don’t
mind summer at all. But I also love me some NFL, and ever since I got
out of [...]
Lacrosse is an interesting sport. It was invented by Native
Americans, which is pretty cool, but it kind of feels a lot like hockey
with weird sticks and no ice. There’s almost as much padding, probably
as much checking, and definitely as much fighting—and that includes your
standard one-on-one fights, plus your garden variety line [...]
Remember when Lamar Odom went crazy on a paparazzo a few weeks
back and smashed a bunch of cameras? Well, according to Star magazine,
everyone’s favorite celebrity tabloid, it was all because they caught
him cheating on his wife Khloe Kardashian—a.k.a. the Kardashian who is
not Kim. How does Star know this? Because they’ve found [...]
