Man falls from stands during Broncos home opener

A fan who fell from the stands at Sports Authority Field during the Broncos game was seriously injured Sunday.

"The man went over the railing," said Sonny Jackson, Denver police spokesman.

Denver police are investigating the fall, and there is no indication of foul play. "It appears to be an accident."

The fan fell an estimated 15 feet, Jackson said.

Last month, a man died when he tumbled out of the upper deck of Atlanta's Turner Field during a Braves-Yankees game.
