Man falls to death at Chicago's Soldier Field
Police in Chicago, Illinois, are investigating the death of a man who fell from the upper level of Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears, to the ground outside the stadium, police said.
The incident happened around 5 p.m. Sunday while the Bears were playing the Philadelphia Eagles, said Veejay Zala of the Chicago Police Department. The 27-year-old man was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital at 5:27 p.m.
The man's name was not immediately released.
In July, a fan trying to catch a foul ball at a Texas Rangers game in Arlington, Texas, fell 30 feet, injuring himself and four others. Tyler Morris tumbled over the railing on the club level of the stadium, hit the railing on the suite level and then landed on the lower deck. His injuries were not life-threatening.

I've lived in Chicago for five years. It is the only placed I've been to where it is considered the norm to get drunk before noon.
you've obviously never been to Vegas... There's nothing like no last call....
yeah, but thats 1PM Eastern
Then you haven't been north to WI.
Never been to Pittsburgh, huh?
it is the norm in nawlins
It's definitely the norm at Beaver Stadium on a home football Saturday.
You obviously didn't go to college in the U.S.
Then you obviously have never been to my house.
I think he means, the only place IN CHICAGO where it's the norm to be drunk before noon...
Only place in Chicago where it's the norm to be drunk before noon? Have you never been to North Avenue Beach or boating in the summer? Or to Wrigley Field? Or bars?
you haven't been to a college town on gameday then
You obviously don't get out much.
Then you obviously haven't gone to church on Sunday morning lately. I hit all 8 communion lines about 10 times each at the 8am mass, and I clean em out of their wine. I'm usually slurring the closing processional song. Then I do it all again at the 10am mass. Aw yeah.
its just norm to get drunk all the time in america
It is Always Noon somewhere. West Coast has football at 10:00 AM. You think we aren't drinking while watching?
A man has tragically died and you all think it's appropriate to make a joke out of it? Pathetic.
You obviously have not been to big D.
I've lived in chicago for more than forty years of my life and it has never been considered normal to get drunk before noon. I don't understand why people so blaitently lie.
Alcohol has become the medication of choice for many Americans. You can guise its use under the umbrella having fun, but in the end, many will suffer from it. They will suffer financially, emotionally, and physically. Understanding the problems with drinking excessively and changing one's habit becomes a test of personal power.
don't forget vegas! Oh wait, the drunks are 24/7 just like the bars
On a related note... Leslie Nielsen just passed away. Is the state of Nevada going to let O.J. go to his funeral?
"Surely, you must be joking."
"I'm not joking... and stop calling me, 'Shirley.'"
I feel horrible for the 27-year-old who fell to his death at Soldier Field. Hope his friends and family can find a way to pull through this unimaginable tragedy.
Witnesses say that he jumped per the Chicago news: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2010/11/28/man-falls-to-his-death-during-bears-game/
Hey Richard: great minds think alike!! Looks like you beat me to the quip! Well done.
I have a handicapped grandson and I find your use of the term retarded unacceptable. Try expanding your vocabulary and realizing that there are human beings on this earth that are less fortunate. But they are valued and loved.
Actually, retarded isn't a word designated solely to handicapped people, and is used by people whose vocabulary isn't retarded, in regards to things not necessarily affiliated with retarded people..
I retarded the spark on my car, but I had to stop because it was "advance challenged." Just illustrating the stupidity of non-descriptive language when dealing with anything.
Dude, that's retarded.
Stop being so sensitive. The writer certainly wasn't referring to special-needs people.
The spark on my '67 Firebird is retarded.... do you find that offensive, too? Would you be more offended if I told you that I retarded the spark on purpose??!?! Dude, get a life!
Had your grandson not been handicapped, would you still feel offended by the word "retarded"?
THERE IS A TIME TO JOKE AND THERE IS A TIME TO BE SERIOUS. SOME PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM TELLING TIME. FRANK HOW ASSININE CAN YOU BE?
Darwin wins again!
My little sister is also mentally handicapped and I don't find the word "retarded" offensive, even when used in jest. Should I? Maybe I'm a bad sibling. Come to think of it, it doesn't bother my sister either.
I think calling a mentally challenged person retarded in a derogatory manner is mean and I would never do it. I use the term for people who can and should be smarter, but choose not to be. I can see how some might get offended. I honestly envy the mentally challenged sometimes. They are always happy when I see them. I wish I could be that happy all the time.
You don't get out much do you?
people trip when its not their Family--that jump--w-folks way of fun.
Duh Bears!
I'll bet on the way down that guy was thinking, "I wish I'd been a little more careful!"
What a tragedy. God be with his family and friends as they try to make sense of his sudden and unexpected passing.
People someone died here and its sad u need to think about that instead of petty stuff
I've never plummeted to my death, but I've played football once without a cup, and that was a mistake!
Gravity is so over rated.
Gravity isn't over rated....It's the LAW!
Let's face it – gravity sucks.
