An Iowa State football fan tumbled out of Jack Trice Stadium's upper deck during Saturday’s football game, but beyond that, details about the person and their condition have not been released by Iowa State or the Iowa State University Police Department.

A person working in the emergency room at Mary Greeley Medical Center on Sunday cited federal privacy regulations in refusing to answer questions about the person’s medical status.

The fan, whom Iowa State officials did not identify, fell at least 25 feet from the upper deck on the east side of the 61,500-seat stadium and into an area near the stadium’s club seating area around the 40-yard line. The person was taken from the stadium on a stretcher.

The incident happened during the first half of Iowa State’s 34-27 loss against Oklahoma State. The stadium was a 61,500 sellout.

“The police chief is confirming a fall at the stadium,” Angie Hunt, interim director of the Iowa State news service, told the Register on Sunday.

When asked for more details, Hunt said:

“Police aren’t commenting beyond confirming someone fell, and that they’re continuing to investigate.”

When asked by the Register about the incident, Iowa State University Police Chief Michael Newton declined to comment, saying "it is currently an open investigation."

This is believed to be the first incident like this since Jack Trice Stadium opened in 1975.
