"today in the bay' "today in the bay's" sergio quintana has more. >> reporter: fist fights in the stands as the game wound down. no word yet on the extent of injuries. santa clara police say there was at least one arrest for fighting, but there were a number of arrests for other reasons. >> it would be unreasonable to expect 70,000 people to get together and not to be a single rest. >> reporter: all evening, a police helicopter hovered overhead and uniformed officers from a few different agencies were all over the in an effort to keep the peace after scenes like this at past 49ers/raiders game. >> raiders! >> niners! >> reporter: at the start of this game, plenty of people came together to mark the end of the

a boy, then ran off.surveillanc for the public's help. >> before it was safe, but now it's like a little scary. >> there's a lot of good things going on out here. this is definitely an abnormal event. >> all three victims will survive, and there's no suspect description. giants fans are stopping by one of the signature spots outside of at&t park, mccovey cove, where fans are paying respect to willie mccovey, the san francisco giants legend. he was so beloved, even bay area hall of famers from other sports are mourning the loss of a legend. >> he would just light up that room, so it's something that i'm going to miss, and a great player, a great person, and you know, somebody that you just love being around. >> of course, that's legendary niner jerry rice.

at john's grill in san francisco, staff members put flowers on the table by mccovey's signed picture. if you've gotten stuck in roadwork on byron highway in:can cloud cover cou -- contra costa county you have to stretch it out for another week. contra costa county public works crews now say they'll have road maintenance done by next friday, november 9th, a bit later than expected. a live look at the golden gate bridge this morning, there is a warning for anyone headed to the iconic spot this weekend. on sunday the eastnd west sidewalks will be closed to pedestrians and bicycles because the golden gate half marathon will be happening. the temporary closure will start at 5:00 a.m. and last until 10:30 in the morning, when that race is over. the bridge will still, however, be open to drivers. what a run. still ahead here on "today in the bay," a possible arsonist on the loose, terrorizing a community. look at where these targets are

located and what police are doing, that story coming up for you at 4:50. first we look at how uber is offering free college tuition to some of its drivers. look at which drivers will get to enjoy the new rewards.

big corporations are making and just got a huge tax break. but the middle class is struggling. prop c is a common-sense plan. the top 1% of businesses pay their fair share to tackle homelessness for all of us. companies with revenue greater than $50 million pay, not small businesses or homeowners. the prop c plan is supported by the democratic party, nancy pelosi & dianne feinstein vote "yes" on c. big corporations pay for it, not you. good morning, i'm contessa brewer at cnbc global headquarters. here are today's top business headlines. wall street pointed toward more gains at the opening bell this morning. dow futures up almost 300 points. the markets rallied yesterday,

following a tweet by president trump that he'd had a productive discussion with china's president on trade issues. that's raising hopes the two countries will resolve their dispute and ease tariffs. the dow closed up 265 points yesterday. it has risen more than 900 points in the past three days. the nasdaq climbed 128 points. on today's watch list, the job market is in focus, as we get the monthly employment report, and it's expected to show hiring rebounded in october and wages grew, which could encourage the federal reserve to hike interest rates again in december. keep an eye on shares of apple today. the tech giant's latest earnings beat wall street's forecast as it managed to sell iphones at higher prices but apple sold fewer phones than expected and gave a cautious outlook on its holiday sales. apple stock fell as much as 7% briefly, knocking its market value below $1 trillion. uber is offering new rewards to its highest rated drivers, including free college tuition,

cash back on fuel and discounts on maintenance, but there's catches. the free tuition only applies to the cost of online classes taken through arizona state. that should be a boost to the university. the offer can be transferred to a family member, but uber will only cover the cost for one person. drivers can get cash back on gas as long as they use an uber branded credit card, and the maintenance discounts apply only to approved repair shops, but marcus and laura, that sounds like incentive to have drivers aiming for the highest ratings. >> it's an opportunity, and even to transfer it. >> right. continuing education there. >> to a family member, very good. thanks a lot, contessa. coming up here on "today in the bay," all that important tgif forecast for you, kari? >> yes, we'll have some very warm weather today. we're doing it all over again, and then we're looking at a lot of sunshine in the forecast. our temperatures start out in the mid-50s, and then head into the upper 70s today. we'll talk about what's normal, and what's ahead, as we go into

the weekend, that's coming up next. we can see it's a beautiful, clear view of the city and the bridge. i focus on the lights going across at speed. we'll talk about what's still going on in oakland, the closure and what else is going for the contra costa county area. ad lib

approaching 29th, 23rd. the overcrossing there, they're working on the work, removing the construction project, we see going from red to rngorange, th back up removing cones through the area, i'll say that's what's going on because it's right about the right time early on a friday commute. northbound 808 worst off and on the freeway at 23rd. toward the bay bridge an easy drive. quick look outside, looking at travel times, no problems for the areas. the closure adds a lot of time on our sensors right now. it's not actually 35 minutes. it's a little better than that, and continues to improve from the dumbarton bridge all the way, sorry, 238 all the way through san leandro and the bay bridge, where there's no backup at the toll plaza. golden gate bridge moves smoothly. laura and marcus, you talked about the run on sunday, that will not close lanes for traffic but it will be a big distraction as the runners will be on the sidewalk so prepare for that sunday morning. >> at least until 10:30.
