Spectator Suffers Life-Threatening Fall During Penguins Game
The man sustained life-threatening injuries after falling from the 200-level seats and hitting another person, with an investigation underway to determine the cause.
- On Monday, an adult male fan fell from the upper concourse at PPG Paints Arena during the Pittsburgh Penguins vs. St. Louis Blues game and was taken to Mercy Hospital with life-threatening injuries, officials said.
- Pittsburgh Public Safety officials said a working detail was alerted during the game's start, early in the first period after Anthony Mantha's goal, about a fall from the upper concourse.
- Officials described the fall as spanning the 200-level seats to the 100 level, hitting a suite occupant, and photos shared with Pittsburgh's Action News 4 showed broken glass from a top level.
- Play was not halted while the man received treatment, officials said, and few fans and arena attendees appeared to see the fall; Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and coach Dan Muse expressed concern for the individual and his family.
- The incident is the third similar fall at Pittsburgh sporting events this year, following an Acrisure Stadium worker's 50-foot fall and Kavan Markwood's fall from the Clemente Wall at PNC Park; an ongoing investigation by authorities is underway.
