Just a few weeks after firefighter Shannon Stone fell to his death at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, another fan has fallen and been injured at the home of the Texas Rangers.

A 24-year-old man fell 21 feet down a stairwell while leaving Saturday night’s game and was knocked unconscious:

Police Lt. Bobby Mason said early Sunday that investigators were still trying to determine exactly how the 24-year-old man fell while leaving the stadium. The stairwell, near the home plate gate out of sight from the field, consists of a series of flights of steps leading from the upper deck of seats to ground level.
“It doesn’t appear that there’s any foul play that’s involved,” Mason said after talking to people who were in the man’s group and other witnesses. “There wasn’t any fighting or anything like that going on.”
Mason said his understanding was that the man’s condition was improving after being transported to a hospital. There was some blood in the area where the man fell.The ESPN.com report indicates that Rangers president Nolan Ryan is aware of the accident; at this time there’s no further information available.
