Not only is the "teenage fight club" extremely organized, but there are allegedly numerous plans to continue to gather in other locations in Colorado to do the same thing.
What Has the Colorado Teenage Fight Club Already Done?
On Sunday, June 22, 2025, an estimated 300 teenagers gathered at the Shops at Northfield in Denver, where multiple fights took place outside of the stores, as well as a few inside some of the stores.
The gathering, or "takeover" as it was marketed by the organizers, who are thought to be teenagers themselves, made it clear that no weapons were to be used, but rather, "all hands."
Why is the Colorado Teenage Fight Club Gathering?
Little is known as to why the takeover took place and why subsequent gatherings have already been planned, though youth advocate Jason McBride seems to believe that the teenagers are feeling as if no one is listening to them and are therefore acting out in this manner for attention.
What's Next for the Colorado Teenage Fight Club?
A similar gathering has been planned for Saturday, June 28, at Denver's City Park, as well as subsequent takeovers at Elitch Gardens, Lakeside Amusement Park, and the Aurora Town Center on July 10, July 11, and July 12, 2025, respectively.
