The state of Kansas is in a celebratory mood after the Royals won their first World Series on Sunday night in 30 years after dispatching the New York Mets.

The celebration quickly turned to Memorial Stadium where fans of the Kansas Jayhawks football team haven’t had much to get excited about but tore down the goal posts anyway to celebrate the Royals first championship since beating the St. Louis Cardinals in 1985.

Photos posted to the Twitter account of the AP’s Amie Just shows the fence was broken and the goal post was taken down and later left on the banks of Potter Lake.

According to the Topeka Capital-Journal, the vandalism was reported at 1 a.m. Monday morning and the damage to the field is estimated at $10,500.

Capt. James Anguiano, with the University of Kansas Public Safety Office also estimates “several hundred people” were involved in taking down the goal posts and breaking into the stadium and not respecting property.

“There’s been people been injured and killed tearing down a goal post,” he said. “When you celebrate, do it responsibly. It really comes down to respecting property.”

Respecting property is something Kansas football fans have had no problem with considering the football team hasn’t given them many reasons to tear down goal posts to celebrate a monumental win or shocking upset. The last time Kansas tore down goal posts was last Nov. 8 after a 34-14 win over perennial Big 12 cellar dweller, Iowa State.

The damage has already been repaired and the goal posts are back where they belong, so at the end of the day, was this a case of kids being kids and this was all in good fun?

Or should the people responsible for tearing down the goal posts be subject to punishment from the law?
