During a press conference, Mobile Police Chief Paul Prine said no shots were fired "in the arena or in the football area where the stands were at."
The shots were fired on an exit ramp leaving the stadium, he said, according to CNN. Prine said shell casings found in the stadium indicate that as many as seven shots were fired.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, the Mobile Police Department released a photo of three people asking for the public's help in "identifying the suspects of interest."
Vigor principal Gerald Cunningham said the game will continue on Monday morning, without fans in attendance, according to AL.com.
Prine said police believed the shooting was an isolated incident, according to CNN.
