Concrete Falls at Dodgers Game, Fan Injured

During a May 31, 2025, Yankees-Dodgers game at Dodger Stadium, Yankees fan Ricardo Aquino was struck in the back by a sizable piece of concrete that fell from the stadium's upper deck while he was seated in Section 10. Aquino, who traveled from Mexico City, received medical attention on-site for pain but did not suffer serious injuries. Multiple eyewitnesses initially believed the object was thrown before realizing it fell from above, prompting further safety concerns. The Dodgers acknowledged the incident, are investigating, and have installed protective netting in the affected area to enhance fan safety. The event has intensified scrutiny on the 63-year-old stadium's structural integrity, with fans voicing concerns for their safety. Despite the incident, the Dodgers defeated the Yankees 8-5, but the focus remains on spectator safety at the historic ballpark.
