There is nothing as quintessentially American as football, and millions sit in front of their sets every weekend cheering on their team, while tens of thousands opt to go see the action in real life. These football fields are housed in stadiums which are filled with bleachers that are graduated step-wise, giving spectators a vantage point into the game depending on where they are seated.

Bleachers are often a hive of activity with spectators going up and down as well as snacks vendors selling their wares to those who do not feel like standing up to go look for snacks. Bleachers foster a sense of camaraderie which is essential for motivating their team and usually erupt in cheers as well as waves from time to time. Stadium proprietors understand this and as such, are legally required to ensure the safety of patrons.

This can be done in a number of ways such as ensuring that bleachers are constructed up to building and municipal codes, material used is free from defects and sourced from trusted and reliable contractors, any broken or worn out bleacher components are fixed and replaced in a timely manner, as well as placing signage all over the bleacher sections around some trouble spots warning patrons about the same so they can take the necessary steps to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Patrons are protected by a legal concept known as premises liability law which requires that business owners provide guests with a reasonable expectation of safety as well as warn them about any hazards so they can take steps to avoid injury. If you got injured as a spectator at a football game in the bleachers, the chances are high that the venue owners breached a duty of care towards you via a negligent act, meaning that you may be able to recover money damages, something we would be honored to expedite and facilitate on your behalf – read on to find out how.

Football Stadium Injury Risks – A Spectator’s Perspective

Overcrowding in a football stadium simply refers to when the number of attendees surpasses the capacity of the venue as it was designed to originally hold. This can occur due to poor crowd control, overselling of the game tickets as well as the occurrence of high-profile games such as championship games or rivalries.

Overcrowding Risks that May Lead to Injuries

1. Structural Strain – bleachers are designed or built to withstand certain loads and forces due to their materials and physics and exceeding this limit may compromise its integrity. Over time, overcrowding instances may weaken these structural components making them more likely to collapse.
2. Increased Movement – crowded bleachers may lead to chaotic movements by spectators which may put added strain on these structures. The random standing up, jumps in excitement and weight shifting may lead to other spectators losing their balance, increasing the risk of falls and injury within a crowded space.
3. Emergency Situations – In the event that the crowd must evacuate such as during a shooting, crowding may hamper efforts to evacuate due to the chaos and lack of sufficient space for patrons to leave the venue safely. Pathways may be obstructed, and a stampede may ensue, leading to collisions and trampling injuries.
