Acrisure Stadium worker severely injured in 50-foot fall from scoreboard

A worker at Acrisure Stadium was hospitalized with severe injuries Saturday night after falling about 50 feet from the main scoreboard, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety.

Pittsburgh Police, EMS and fire crews were dispatched to the North Shore stadium around 10 p.m. for calls of a male worker who fell from the scoreboard to a mid-level catwalk, Public Safety said. The man was loaded into a rescue basket and lowered from the catwalk to an ambulance waiting below.

The man was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, Public Safety said. Pittsburgh Police detectives used drones to document the scene.

Public Safety deferred comment on the stadium worker and his health condition to Acrisure Stadium and the NFL. TribLive has contacted Steelers communications officials.
