Im thinking that the only difference between this event at Dodger stadium and any other sports arena is the media coverage.
Not even close. I've been a baseball fan for 30 years now and have been going to games all over the country for nearly as long. I've been to Red Sox/Yankees games--and while there are OCCASIONAL fights and idiots, the rivalry is for the most part good-natured. I've seen it with other rivalries as well. But get the Dodgers involved, and violence is the norm, not the exception. I've seen it too many times.
No, it's the fan base and the "thug" mentality. Raider fans are the same way--mainly because they're the same thugs. I leave it to you to draw your own conclusions.
