SAN FRANCISCO -- NFL opening day excitement this week was tarnished with the death of one fan walking over a pedestrian overpass outside the big game in San Francisco, and injuries to two others from falls inside the Indianapolis stadium. San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said Monday that early indications show that 32-year-old Kevin Hayes of nearby Hayward fell accidentally. "Alcohol may or may not have played a role to some varying degree, but right now, it looks like a very sad, tragic accident," Suhr said. Hayes fell while walking with his brother on a bridge raised above four lanes of traffic outside the stadium, connecting a street to Candlestick Park, police said. Off-duty medics and police officers gave him first aid until an ambulance arrived, but authorities from police and medical examiner offices said he was declared dead from his injuries. The death came just after kickoff in what was eventually San Franciscos 34-28 win over Green Bay. Multiple witnesses reported that Hayes appeared to be intoxicated before he fell over the rail to a sidewalk below. Also Sunday, a railing collapsed at the Colts game against the Raiders in Indianapolis, injuring two unidentified fans who were leaning against the barrier above the tunnel leading to Oaklands locker room. One person was taken away on a stretcher, while another left in a wheelchair, witnesses said. After the Colts 21-17 victory, Barney Levengood, executive director of the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium, issued a statement that said one of the people was released after receiving medical attention at the stadium. The other person was treated at the stadium and transported to Methodist Hospital for additional evaluation. Levengood said that the second fan did not appear to be seriously injured. 49ers spokesman Bob Lange confirmed in a statement that the team had learned of the accident outside the stadium. "We would like to express our deepest condolences to the family during this difficult time," he said in an email. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee added Monday that while he doesnt know all of the facts regarding the fall, he called the incident "very unfortunate." "It certainly marred what otherwise a very happy day for fans who know this is the last opening game we will see in Candlestick," Lee said. "And, if intoxication was involved, well have to look at that for as well for the fans safety. Well have a lot of things to look at." Since 2003, there have been more than two dozen serious cases of fans falling at stadiums across the United States, according to the Institute for the Study of Sports Incidents. That includes a 2007 fatality at Candlestick Park when a fan in the concession area misjudged a jump up to sit on a wall and fell instead from the upper concourse to the mezzanine level, said Alana Penza, director of the institute, which is part of the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security, based at the University of Southern Mississippi. "Sometimes a venue will say this was an accident, but other times they might decide to make adjustments," said Penza. She said Monday that while alcohol can raise the danger to fans, "you have to think of how, regardless of alcohol, how easy would it be for you or me to misstep and fall down stairs." Historic Candlestick Park closes after this season and will be replaced by a shopping centre. Next year, the 49ers will move into a $1.2 billion stadium at the teams Silicon Valley headquarters in Santa Clara, a steeper design but with many built in safety rails. Penza noted that stadium fatalities are not limited to football. In Atlanta, baseball fan Ronald Lee Homer Jr. died last month after falling 85 feet following a tumble over Turner Fields fourth-level railing. Homers death was the third at an Atlanta stadium in the past year. Also last month in Denver, Broncos fan Noel Robinson was injured when he fell about 10 feet from an escalator at a preseason game.

Wyoming is all alone atop the MWC standings, sporting an unblemished 4-0 mark, and the team has won seven straight games since bowing to California more than a month ago, 45-42, on the road. The latest triumph for the Pokes came this past Saturday as they took down the Boise State Broncos at home, 65-54. Winners of 13 straight at home, the Cowboys are off to their best start in MWC play since 2002-03, and would be setting a new team standard with a victory over the Aztecs. Up until recently, the Aztecs were one of the teams to beat in the MWC, ranking as high as 13th in the country, but an unexpected 59-57 loss to Fresno State on Jan. 3 put an end to that. The team did manage to bounce back last week with a 56-42 decision over New Mexico, the fifth win in six outings for SDSU, but still the spotlight is shining elsewhere in the conference right now. Wyoming leads the all-time series by a 39-35 margin and has been particularly dominant at home since the relationship began back in 1979, winning 26 of the 34 games played in Laramie. Last season, the Cowboys captured a 68-62 victory in the lone meeting. Despite having trouble winning in Laramie, the good news for the Aztecs is that six of their eight victories on the road in the series have come under current head coach Steve Fisher. The Aztecs won their 24th straight home game last week as Winston Shepard tallied 20 points and pulled down nine rebounds, offsetting five turnovers, as they took down New Mexico at Viejas Arena. Angelo Chol was the only other double-diigit scorer for SDSU with 10 points off the bench, as the team limited the Lobos to only 29.dddddddddddd percent shooting from the floor. The Aztecs survived despite hitting a mere 3-of-18 behind the 3-point line. Producing from beyond the arc has not been one of the highlights for the Aztecs this season, with the team converting only 28.0 percent on the perimeter. However, that level of accuracy still beats the competition which checks in at a mere 27.3 percent. In addition, San Diego State has been able to clamp down on almost every opponent, limiting them to 36.6 percent from the floor overall, resulting in 53.5 ppg. Offensively, the only double-digit scorer on the defensive-minded unit is Shepard with his 11.4 ppg. During their win over Boise State, the Cowboys shot better than 52 percent from the field in both the first and second halves, compared to the visitors who knocked down only 39.6 percent overall during the double-digit decision. Larry Nance Jr. was again dominant in the paint with 18 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots, adding four assists as well, while Josh Adams tacked on 16 points. Riley Grabau converted all 10 of his free-throw tries in order to arrive at 15 points for a team that outscored BSU at the charity stripe, 14-6. With three double-doubles on the campaign, it should not come as a surprise that Nance Jr. leads the Cowboys in both scoring (15.8 ppg) and rebounding (6.7 rpg), not to mention pacing them with 21 blocked shots and being among the team leaders with 40 assists. Adams, the top man for assists with 66, adds another 11.1 ppg to the offensive attack, but like the Aztecs this is a team that feeds off its defense, limiting opponents to only 52.2 ppg on 39.8 percent shooting from the floor.
