Injured fan at Rutgers game not SU student
A 20-year-old male who fell down stairs in Rutgers Stadium on Saturday is not a Syracuse University student, according to the SU student directory.
The man, Nicholas Amabile of Florham Park, N.J., is also not affiliated with Rutgers University, said university spokesman E.J. Miranda.
Amabile remains in critical condition with serious head injuries after an accidental fall during SU’s 13-10 win over Rutgers on Saturday, according to a report in The Asbury Park Press on Sunday.
The fall came just prior to halftime during the game between Rutgers and SU at the stadium, Rutgers spokesman Jason Baum said Saturday.
Amabile fell down the stadium’s south stairwell near the student section of the stadium, Baum said. He was transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J., Baum said.
Baum said Rutgers would not release any more information from the investigation into the injury.
