Fan experiences heart attack at Kansas home football game
The man was transferred to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after lying unconscious in the metal bleachers of Memorial Stadium during the game.
"He went into cardiac arrest prior to being transported," said Mark Bradford, Deputy Chief of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical.
According to a police report filed by University of Kansas police officer Brad Clover, University police officers responded to a call from witnesses sitting near the man who noticed he was unconscious.
The report indicated that three University police officers arrived on the scene during the game at 8:15 p.m. and were forced to transport the man from the bleachers to another location because of the wet conditions and awkward location
ward location.
Officer Clover and two other police officers then carried the man down to a dry area underneath the stadium, where they were met by Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical workers. The fire and medical workers began administering treatment to the man and noted he was not breathing and in a state of cardiac arrest.
Later in the evening, Officer Clover was advised that the man was resting in the intensive care unit and had not regained consciousness.
The man was then transported in an ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Although officials at Lawrence Memorial Hospital were unable to comment on the man's condition, they were able to confirm he was still a patient yesterday.

Corrections
Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "Vending machine targets University," stated that the Target vending machine sells blue books and Pepsi. This is not correct. It only sells Target products not previously sold through Coca-Coca, the University or Treat America.
- Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "Students must use new ID numbers" stated that KUID cards would not be affected by a change in using a seven-digit KUID number because the cards' magnetic strip contained both the seven-digit and six-digit numbers. The reason the KUID cards will not be affected is because the magnetic strip uses a separate 16-digit number. The new KUID cards do not contain students' seven or six digit numbers.
