November 28, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- A 27-year-old man died after falling from an upper area at Soldier Field during the Chicago Bears game Sunday evening.

The Chicago Fire Department said the man, who has not been identified, was in the columns area of Soldier Field, 1400 South Museum Campus Drive, when he fell 50 feet and landed on the roof. Police are investigating the circumstances of his death.

The man was transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition around 5 p.m. He was pronounced dead at 5:24 p.m.

I need to check on this. Can I make a joke if the guy's over 18, or is it still not allowed?

I guess this increases the chance of a die-hard Raiders fan being in attendance at the Bears game.

All joking aside though, this is pretty terrible. I originally heard this on TV and the reporter said it was a 20 year old, this says 27, so not sure which is correct. But either way, pretty awful.

Yeah it's fair game especially when there's a decent chance it was a Raiders fan, but the people who were laughing about that 2 year old at the Lakers game are ****ing sick in the head.

How long before people stop hanging over the railings?

I don't know. I'm thinking sentiment is leaning toward sympathy on this one, so I guess I'd better go that way, too.

Poor guy.
