According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the family of
60-year-old Gregory Murrey filed the lawsuit Tuesday, accusing
the defendants of disregarding fans' safety by putting up a
guard railing that is only 30 inches tall. The lawsuit said that
height is 12 inches short of the industry standard.
"Had the rail been 42 inches, Mr. Murrey would not have fallen
over the rail," stated the complaint filed in Fulton County
State Court.
Murrey of Alpharetta, Ga., died after falling into a lower-level
stand during an August game against the New York Yankees.
