Unfortunately, if the stadium designers or operators act negligently. That can lead to many serious safety problems that can result in dangerous accidents. Stadium owners owe a duty of care to the patrons that walk through stadium gates, and if they fail to adequately fulfill their responsibilities, they may be legally liable for harm that befalls fans. Many dangers of stadiums are due to the negligence of the owners.

Stadium Owner Responsibilities

Because patrons are guests of the stadium. The stadium has to provide each person with safe conditions so they do not get hurt. This means the owners and operators have to protect patrons from any possible harm, within reason. Some of the most common injuries from stadiums include:

  • Slip and fall injuries from spilled beverages or leaking water, particularly in the bathroom
  • Injuries from improperly working seats
  • Fall injuries from faulty or absent guardrails
  • Aggressive or negligent action by other fans that should have been prevented by the provision of adequate security
  • Food poisoning from spoiled concession stand food and beverages
