VIDEO: 49ers fan says San Francisco stadium tried to deny family's entry over Trump 'MAGA' hat

She said they argued over it for about 45 minutes before they were allowed into the stadium.

A family of 49ers fans said that stadium officials tried to deny them entry into the San Francisco Levi's Stadium over a "Make America Great Again" hat.

Ailynn Espino posted video of the alleged altercation on her Instagram account and described what happened.

'This is usually stuff you see on social media but never a thought it would happen to you. We are so disappointed.'

"So what was meant to be a fun first time experience for our kids turned out to be an eye opener to us," Espino wrote.

The video shows about half a dozen fans in 49ers jerseys stopped by two stadium workers who are trying to keep them out. The woman gains support from some of the bystanders who are walking into the stadium.

"We were stopped after we scanned in tickets and security check points, by one male asking my husband to either throw away the hat or leave the stadium," she added.

Espino said a supervisor was called out, and they spent between 30 and 45 minutes arguing about the disagreement before they were allowed into the game. She says they missed the beginning of the game, however.

"This is usually stuff you see on social media but never a thought it would happen to you. We are so disappointed," Espino added.

Blaze News reached out to Levi's Stadium for comment about the incident but did not hear back by time of publication.

A similar incident unfolded in September against an Arizona Cardinals fan who tried to bring a Trump hat into a State Farm Stadium in Glendale. The fan was forced to toss the hat into the trash to be allowed entry, but the team later apologized for the incident.
