- 11 years ago
A man fell to his death on Sunday outside the San Francisco 49ers first regular match.
The 30-year-old man had been walking with his brother along an elevated walkway that surrounds the stadium.
Witnesses say the man appeared intoxicated before he fell from the walkway, slamming into the sidewalk below.
According to CNN, The incident is one of several recent deaths at large sporting arenas.
In August, a Georgia man fell to his death from an upper level of Atlanta's Turner Field.
In 2012, a Tennessee fan died after falling about 45 feet at the Georgia Dome during a college football game between North Carolina State and the University of Tennessee.
And in 2011, a Texas fan died after falling 20 feet at the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, while trying to catch a ball thrown to him by outfielder Josh Hamilton.
