Escalators at B.o.A

you could always watch the game at home

Do you understand how much money it would take to install escalators and to run them on gamedays and are you prepared for a ticket price hike to accommodate it?

If they gave you a free hot dog every time you made a turn, I bet your ass wouldn't complained about walking.

If I ever go back to a Panther game I will only buy tickets for the lower level, fug walking.

I struggled to stand and wait 30 minutes going in.

Probably because people are just using them due to lazieness and not need.

If people are seriously too lazy or out of shape to walk the ramps then that is just sad. A little walk might do these folks some good.

I agree that they should be there for people with disabilities and medical conditions that would prevent them from walking. That would probably cut the wait in 1/10th.

Being out of shape or lazy is not a reason to ride the elevator.

These people are out of shape because the first thing they want is an elevator to take them places. We evolved this way for a reason, use your damned feet

Another year has brought another harrowing story of a sports fan falling to his death.

On Thursday night in Houston, a man identified as 25-year-old Jonathan Kelly fell to his death after witnesses said he was sliding down the outside rail of an escalator at the Houston Texans' exhibition game against the Minnesota Vikings.

The incident, first reported by CBS Houston, took place after 8 p.m. local time, when Kelly fell three stories and landed on the pavement below. The incident reportedly happened during the third quarter of the Texans-Vikings game. Another fan on the scene told the Houston Chronicle he "heard the very loud noise when he hit the ground." Kelly was taken to the hospital, where he died. Alcohol may have been involved, according to CBS Houston.

This is the ninth escalator incident in the last 10 years, according to the Institute for the Study of Sports Incidents, three of which were caused by individuals trying to sit or slide down railings. Alcohol was only reported to be a factor in one of these incidents. For context, there have been eight falls linked to fans reaching over railings for balls.

A witness named Randall Wisdom told KHOU he and his 18-year-old daughter were on the escalator below when they saw Kelly hit the ground. "My daughter is devastated," he said. "She's never experienced something like that."

The downside to escalators is that I can't get around the slowpokes that infest stadiums. Some of us have places to be.

Yeah, like in traffic outside the stadium!
