"Sacramento State's homecoming game on Saturday night against the University of Northern Colorado drew more than 20,000 fans to the university's Hornet Stadium. After the game, rapper Lil Yachty was slated to perform a 25-minute set. Instead, the rapper's performance was cut short after approximately eight minutes. As reported by the Sacramento Bee, videos from the stadium show attendees sprinting to the field after the game to get to the stage, which was set up on the edge of the football field."
"Although the crowd was tightly packed, Lil Yachty asked the audience to open a mosh pit; in a video posted to TikTok, several attendees can be heard screaming, with one repeatedly saying, "He's gonna kill us." At one point, the crowd pushed so hard that the metal barricade in the front of the stage fell over, one student told local news station KOVR-TV, knocking over some fans with it."
"In his caption, he wrote that the day "overall was a great success" before addressing the concert's sudden end. "The postgame concert concluded earlier than planned due to behavior from some community members (not our students) that did not meet our standards of decorum," Wood wrote. "While Lil Yachty wanted to continue, the University prioritized safety and security and thus ended the concert early. A revised plan is being developed for Friday's concert.""
