Emergency crews were forced to rush to Acrisure Stadium after a stadium worker fell 50 feet from the scoreboard in a horrifying incident on Saturday night before the Pittsburgh Steelers-Green Bay Packers’ Sunday Night Football’ game.
It happened around 10 p.m. Saturday, per multiple reports.
MS, fire, and police were all called. Once they got to the scene, other workers informed them that a man had fallen approximately 50 feet from the main scoreboard to a catwalk area.
After finding him, he would be tended to and later listed in critical condition.
Lily Coleman of WTAE reported that the Acrisure Stadium worker “suffered serious injuries primarily to his lower body.”
The publication further added that he was working on “installing production equipment” when the terrifying accident occurred.
Fan Inside Acrisure Stadium Shows Where Stadium Worker Fell
One stadium worker is lucky to be alive after he fell 50 feet from the scoreboard.
Medics were able to reach him and promptly use a basket and ropes to lower him off the catwalk before he was taken to an ambulance. He was taken to Allegheny General Hospital in critical condition and suffered severe injuries.
Inside the stadium for Sunday Night Football, one fan recorded where that worker fell from, and it shows just how far he went down and how lucky he is to still be breathing.
“NBC Sports videographer fell from the top of this scoreboard last night! Prepping for the game. Fell 50 feet. Remains in critical condition. OSHA investigating,” the fan wrote on X while adding a 14-second video.
