I would be shocked if it stuck long-term unless someone wanted to make an example out of them (which isn’t out of the question).
They were both charged with interference with a sporting or entertainment event, which could lead to a prison sentence of up to five years if they’re found to have solicited each other into doing so, as that is a third-degree felony. Additionally, they can both be fined $5000.
“Interference with a sporting or entertainment event” is a stretch, and for the third degree felony it would have to be proven that they solicited each other to “interfere with an event.”
Nah, I actually think that this type of breaking and entering isn’t punished enough. There’s a whole genre of content creators recording themselves breaking into stadiums.
What’s the proper punishment though? 5 years in prison seems absurd to me since they don’t seem dangerous. Lifetime ban from stadiums and a fine. Community service.
Seems remarkably harsh. Not clear from the article if “stream it” meant stream the game, or stream them sneaking into the game.

They will probably plea to a lesser charge.

I don’t have a problem with the current sentence. 5 years is fine.
When I say “isn’t punished enough”, I’m not saying they should be prosecuted more harshly, I’m saying they should be prosecuted more often.
