Now his favorite team is the Angels.

Ah, says he fell into a secure parking lot. Only one I'm aware of that you can fall into from the stadium is the player lot. He fell from the upper deck concourse all the way to probably a few feet below field level.

Rumor going around is that he didn't actually fall.

Either that or he jumped. I don't see how you just fall over there unless you're absolutely trashed.

Here's the lot. I guess he'd have had to fall from the top of the upper deck (right under the green roof, there's a gap between the fence and roof) for it to be a 65 foot fall. The concourse is the same height as the small red/white cube over to the right side of this view. That's a vendor stand.
I imagine if he didn't fall, a friend was messing around and trying to scare him and let him fall.

I'm curious where in Turner Field it happened. First row of the uppers down to the lower level certainly doesn't look like 65 feet.
Fourth level concourse to the players parking lot. That's where it happened.

This thread reminds me of the six flags roller coaster rumor mill.

Didn't think about suicide. If that's the suspicion, he was probably a Phillies fan.
Too soon?

Atlanta fans will throw anything when things don't go their way.

Not so much suicide, but people who saw it say it certainly wasn't an accident.

How exactly is it not suicide based on those tweets?

Parkour?!
It was suicide or the guy was an idiot.

Well, some people that were up on the fourth level are saying that he was smoking weed and was running from security when he jumped.
Idiot if that's the truth. He had to know that there was nothing between there and the ground. If you've been up on the top level of the Ted, you know there's nothing.

I'm going to go with not-suicide. Out of all the places in Atlanta to jump, that's a pretty random one. Feel bad for his family/friends.

If he didn't, dude was absolutely hammered or acting like a jackass. I know where he fell from, and no one not being stupid could fall from there.
