An unidentified spectator sustained minor injuries after falling from the Tiger Stadium south end zone upper deck during the game against Ole Miss on Saturday.
Two other spectators 12 to 15 feet below the upper end zone deck were injured when the falling man landed on them in the third quarter, said Sgt. Blake Tabor, LSU Police Department spokesman.
The falling man sustained minor neck and back injuries along with cuts on his face and was hospitalized as a precaution with one of the other spectators, Tabor said.
Tabor said police believe the falling man was drunk leading up to the fall.
“He was cheering, and he subsequently fell over,” Tabor said. “How it happened, we can’t be sure. But we speculate it had something to do with his level of intoxication.”
Tabor said none of the injured were students, and police are not releasing names at request of the injured.
