Perhaps the new stadium will have higher railings. Not the first death at Turner Field due to gravity.

I'm going to guess that it was, just as it was associated with the two previous deaths at the Ted.

I'm surprised more people don't get seriously hurt/die at these huge stadiums. I've had some pretty clumsy falls sober and seeing how #turntup some people get at games, I think the injuries are relatively low. This is sad for dude's family though.

OT: They are building a new stadium to appease the suburban white folk, right? What are they going to do with Turner Field?

Georgia State wants to buy it and make it their football stadium.

I was there. People were saying there was a fair amount of blood in the area. I think it happened right in front of where the players' families sit. Tough moment for everyone over there I'm sure.

Sounds like a bad investment for them unless they would be getting it cheap which I highly doubt. Isn't GA State mostly a commuter school?

I thought the last guy committed suicide by jumping off the concourse... wasn't even in the seating sections.

They've been buying up buildings left and right. They're trying to get past the commuter school thing. It's the second largest university in the state.

I would have jumped too if I had to sit through a baseball game.
