The security guard was rushed to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition, the New York Post reported.
According to Utica Police Chief Mark Williams, the group was turned away from the varsity game against nearby Binghamton High School by another member of the school's law enforcement just moments before the shooting.
"He suspected that something wasn't right with this group and he refused to lead into the stadium," Mr Williams said.
The police said that a lone gunman was responsible for the violent escalation. The motive of the fight remains unclear.
