Stagehand Dies After Fall Near Super Bowl Stadium

We’re just a little over two weeks from Super Bowl 49 here in the valley. On Thursday, we learned about a deadly accident at the site where the game will take place, University of Phoenix Stadium in the west valley. The worker fell 35 feet to his death while setting up a structure for the Super Bowl. State investigators are trying to learn exactly how it happened. His family lives in Goodyear and isn’t speaking out until investigators figure out what happened.
31-year-old Ryan Lipman is used to working up high, setting up stages and larger than life structures for big events like concerts and the Super Bowl.
