A fan fell to his death Friday night while trying to do a flip on the balcony at Citi Field stadium at a Dead & Company concert in New York.

During intermission at around 9 pm, the man, a Brooklyn resident in his 40s, fell about 30 to 50 feet landing on concrete, police said. First responders said they were called to the scene at 9:05 pm and found the man injured apparently from a fall.

A fan in a tie-dye tank top told The Post, 'I heard people going 'ahhh' and see people running. I said 'bro, someone took a f—ing header.'

Police sources said the man was possibly under the influence when he attempted the fatal flip on the fifth floor.

You only have until about thirty to do stupid things. After that, you die.

“Police sources said the man was possibly under the influence when he attempted the fatal flip on the fifth floor.”

Certainly seems possible. Maybe even likely.

“A fan fell to his death Friday night while trying to do a flip on the balcony at Citi Field stadium at a Dead & Company concert in New York.”

Maybe he just wanted to join the band?

I was at the top of Autzen stadium during a Dead show... the real ones...when a guy fell down and hit his head. Hard. It’s just part of the concert experience.

Saw a guy fall from the upper deck at Cleveland Municipal Stadium at a concert. Heard later he was paralyzed.

Seen someone do that from the rafters at Great Woods during an Aerosmith concert back in the 80s.
The show went on.

I got hit in the head with a Frisbee at a Who concert. I made a full recovery.
