A worker at Acrisure Stadium was rescued Saturday night after a 50-foot fall on the back side of the stadium's scoreboard, critically injuring him.

According to Pittsburgh Public Safety, around 10 p.m., EMS, fire, and police were all called to the North Shore for reports of a man who had fallen.

Once they arrived on the scene, other workers told them that inside the stadium, a man had fallen approximately 50 feet from the main scoreboard to a catwalk area.

Medics were able to reach him and get him stabilized,

They then used a basket and ropes to lower him off the catwalk before he was taken to an ambulance.

He was taken to Allegheny General Hospital in critical condition and suffered severe injuries, mainly to his lower extremities, officials said.

The fall took place as crews at Acrisure Stadium were preparing for Sunday's game against the Packers, according to a statement provided by Acrisure Stadium.

"A crew member installing production equipment suffered a fall," the statement said.

KDKA-TV saw a larger number of "Sunday Night Football" broadcast crew members at the scene of the emergency response.

"First of all, I appreciate what those guys do; they go out of their way to make sure we see this game from every angle," said Lou Scerbo, a fan coming to Sunday's game. "I used to be in the insurance business, so my first question would be, why wasn't he tethered to something up there?"

Police were able to document the scene using drones.
