I can't either for the United States, but Canadian Hockey fans have rioted and looted.
1. When Clarence Campbell, the Commissioner of the National Hockey League, suspended Maurice Richard for the remainder of the 1954 -1955 season for striking an on ice official, fans rioted in the streets.
Rabid Montreal fans went wild.

(Note: In 1955 $100,000 would be over more than a million today.)
2. When the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in 2011 their fans rioted and caused large amounts of damage.

3. Soccer world wide and in particularly Europe and Cricket matches have rioted many times.
4. Brooklyn Dodgers ? I recall the fans went quite wild in the Dodgers last game at Brooklyn. They were tearing apart the stadium and the players had to run for their lives to the dressing rooms.
But I do not remember them rioting in the streets. I could be wrong.
