Fan Falls From Upper Level At Georgia Dome During Tennessee Vs. N.C. State
A fan fell from the upper level seating in the Georgia Dome during Friday night’s game between Tennessee and NC State. He landed on a person sitting below, and both were taken for examination.
A person on the scene gave a description of the incident to WSBTV:
"It looked like [the man who fell] was doing a fist pump, and then he was gone over the top," said William Coates, Tennessee fan from Arkansas. "He wasn't moving. His chest was moving a little.""He was just laying there [in the section below] between rows. It took like 15 minutes for the medical workers to get there."
Mark Schlabach investigated the scene of the incident further, finding it to be “the first row of a Tennessee student area in Section 311.”
Police were investigating the incident.
