Police say a man fell from the upper deck at Oakland Coliseum during Thursday's Raiders-Broncos game and is in serious condition at a hospital. Oakland police Officer Kevin McDonald says the man fell from the third deck on to the concrete of the lower concourse at about 5:30 p.m., shortly after kickoff. McDonald says initial reports called the fall an accident, but it remains under investigation. He says the man is at a hospital and listed in serious condition, but had no further information on his injuries or identity. The Raiders, who lost to the Broncos 26-13, issued a statement saying the team had no information beyond what authorities are releasing, but the their thoughts and prayers are with the man and his family and friends.

What's the deal with all these freaking people falling. Booze related? It's only a matter if time before they stop selling booze in the first quarter.
i agree. i don't know what the hell is going on at all of these stadiums in various different sports. it never used to be like this.
Last night the Phoenix Suns embarrassingly had a "Satisfaction Guaranteed" night. If you weren't entertained you send in your ticket stub for a full refund of the ticket cost. What a crock. They needed bodies in the arena to sell those $10.00 bottles of Bud. Beer revenues are massive at sporting events and beer will undoubtedly be mentioned in this person autopsy report. Just a guess on my part.
