Such a heartbreaking tragedy. Sending prayers to the family and friends of the fan, and hoping for strength and healing for her sister—both physically & emotionally.
They went to the game for a fun night out, now their world has been turned upside down. My heart goes out to them.
In lieu of the tragedy at NC's stadium, the league has postponed all games on April 1st and designated April 1st-3rd as a time of mourning across the league. Stadiums will have no cheering, and players will wear black ribbons.
