The game took place in the same location of a large 'sweep' of homeless people, which had taken place two days prior and resulted in 24 arrests as demonstrators opposed police. The group was approached by police and told to leave the park, which is officially closed following the sweep. Members of the group yelled that police were profiling the demonstrators because of their black dress and claimed that others were allowed to use the park freely.
