My wife and I were in section 112 and a man definitely fell down the stairs and landed directly on his face. The situation seemed verry serious for a while. Security was flustered and Police came down. Then Pj security came and the police and EMT's took the poor guy out on a stretcher, gave him oxygen and put him in a neck brace. After they took him out there were some guys asking people in the aisle seats if they saw anything, I guess.
But someone defininitly got hurt pretty bad in section 112.

wow, that is to bad. hope he is ok. those steps should be made bigger. as a guy with size 14 shoe, its tough enough going down steps sober never mind a few drinks.

I was 109 row 6 too! Seats 10 and 11. There's definitely no way you could jump from there to the back stage area but they were outstanding seats.

No way!!!! We had to have been right near each other...technically our seats were row 7, seats 3 and 4, but since we saw that the row in front of us had some empty seats in them we hopped down to those...we were probably in seats 5 and 6 at that point! I was the girl with the white tank top on and I was with a really tall guy in an Orioles hat! Which one were you? Yes, those seats were incredible and no, there was no way to get backstage from there...hahaha!

I really appreciate everyone's concern. It's funny but the person you are talking about is me. I was in section 113. There was some people smoking some stuff that made me dizzy and before I knew it, everything went black and I fell down the stairs. I don't have much recollection of it though. All I can say is that the EMT's and everyone else involved with the Arena did a superb job at saving my life. It turns out that I was really lucky. I only suffered a broken nose, concussion, and a few stiches. My neck and back are still a little sore and bruised up but everything else is fine. Sucks I missed the rest of the show though.

Geez, glad your are okay! That is definately the upside. Missing the rest of the show is too bad, but the boot sounds great.

rumor has it that nothingman44 was going crazy at ER2 when they played in hiding

Damn man, did it really look that bad? it was probably the scariest night of my life but I don't really remember that part much. It's all a blur. I've been to probably around 50ish concerts total and nothing has ever happened to me before. I mean sure, there were times I got a black eye here and there or something minor from when I was younger and liked to mess around in the pit but nothing this serious. This is definitely a first.

what happened exactly, you just blacked out? Did you see it coming? I guess people faint. Just sucks when it happens in an arena staircase.

at some point in the show ( I think during LBC ) i was running to the bathroom and saw a kid on a stretcher with a neck brace on and one of those breathing bags on his mouth. The guys that were pushing him were definately in a hurry. he didnt look good at all

thats what i wrote the other day bro

Glad to know you are okay dude.

We have numerous people that saw a bloodied guy in a neckbrace taken out on a stretcher, unconcious.

Your buddies with security must have had the night off.

They are all working together to make Pearl Jam security look bad!
