The D.C. United played the first game at the brand-new Audi Field on Saturday night, and it’s clear that the stadium shouldn’t have opened yet.

Clay Adams reported before the game that a “chunk of metal” fell on a “member of the broadcast team.”

An ominous start to @audifield as a chunk of metal falls on a member of the broadcast team. Ouch. @whitecapsfc #capsontour pic.twitter.com/LOfgTBAdyg — Clay Adams, ABC, APR (@OzClay2) July 14, 2018

And Erin Hawksworth of ABC-7 (D.C. affiliate) later reported that D.C. sideline reporter Lindsay Simpson was hit by a railing and being treated by medics. Hawksworth included photos of the railing:

According to ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle, a D.C. United spokesperson confirmed that Simpson was “hit in the head by an object” and wouldn’t be a part of the broadcast.

Hopefully Simpson will be okay.

And MLS reporter Pablo Maurer reported that there were a “couple of incidents” of the railing failing at the stadium.

So they’ve had a couple of incidents here at the stadium where sections of railing have fallen – in one incident someone got struck by falling debris. They’ve resorted to duct tape as a temp fix. pic.twitter.com/mgPtckTL4x — Pablo Maurer (@MLSist) July 15, 2018

So, this is bad. The D.C. United organization and the Audi Field crew have some questions to answer about how this facility was ruled safe for use.
