Angel Garcia, 25, fell while working on the
north end of the stadium and was pronounced dead at a nearby
hospital.
The stadium known as Kyle Field is home to one of the top ranked
football teams in the country this season. It is being expanded
to boost its seating capacity to 102,000.
The project began just after the team's final home game of the
season in November.
"On behalf of Texas A&M University and the extended Aggie family
I offer our deepest sympathy to the family of the construction
worker who tragically passed away," university President R.
Bowen Loftin said in a statement.
