Fellow spectators corroborated Aquino's account. Jessica Coria, who was seated in front of him, initially thought someone had thrown an object but realized the concrete had fallen from above. Another fan, Lewis Loy, expressed concern over the incident, noting the potential danger to other attendees, including children.
Medical attention
Aquino received medical attention at the stadium and returned to his seat with an ice pack. His friend, Alvaro Baeza, translated for him, stating that while Aquino was in pain, he did not sustain any bleeding injuries.
Live Events
The Los Angeles Dodgers acknowledged the incident, stating, "We are aware of the report. We cannot comment further until we have all the information, which we are currently collecting."
In response to the event, the Dodgers installed protective netting over the area in Section 10 where the concrete reportedly fell. This measure aims to prevent similar incidents and ensure fan safety.
Dodger Stadium, opened in 1962, is Major League Baseball's third-oldest ballpark. Despite renovations over the years, including significant updates completed in 2021, the stadium's age has raised concerns about structural integrity.
The game continued after the incident, with the Dodgers overcoming a 5-2 deficit to defeat the Yankees 8-5. However, the focus remains on ensuring the safety and well-being of all fans attending events at the historic venue.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi: I will look to do two times better for my team in next IPL
Having left an indelible mark in his debut season itself, 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi says he will look to do two times better for his team Rajasthan Royals in next year's Indian Premier League . Suryavanshi created the record for the fastest century for any Indian in terms of balls faced (35) when he cracked 101 off only 38 balls with seven fours and 11 sixes against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur in April. The whirlwind knock helped Suryavanshi not only enter his name in record books for the second fastest century ever in IPL , he also become the youngest T20 centurion in men's T20 cricket at 14 years and 32 days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Recessão ou vibecessão? Franklin Templeton Brazil Leia mais "Playing in the IPL is like a dream for everyone and I got a lot of positives from my first season and I also learnt a lot in terms of what I can do for the team in the next season," Suryavanshi said in a video shared by IPL's official website. Even as the Royals endured a forgettable campaign, the left-handed Suryavanshi tasted success on personal front as he was given the IPL Super Striker of the Season award after the conclusion of the final on Tuesday. Live Events "Next year, I will work on areas where I made mistakes and try to do much better for the team," he said. Talking about his learnings from the maiden season, Suryavanshi said, "My learning is that I have to do two times better than what I have done so that my team also plays in the final next year and how much I can contribute to my team, I will focus on that." Given his exploits, Suryavanshi was also named in the India Under-19 squad for a multi-format tour of England along with Mumbai's Ayush Mhatre, who made a successful debut for Chennai Super Kings. "It is a new tournament. I am going to the UK for the first time so it will be a new experience. I will experience how the game goes on there," Suryavanshi said. "Ayush Mhatre, who played for Chennai Super Kings this time, is our captain. The preparations are going well and it will be a good experience of playing in England and will try to return with the trophy," he added.

India tour of England: Ricky Ponting highlights captaincy challenge for Shubman Gill; says 'won't be easy for him'
Shubman Gill (PTI Photo) NEW DELHI: Australian legend Ricky Ponting has offered a frank assessment of Shubman Gill 's readiness for the challenges of Test captaincy, urging the young Indian skipper to consider batting at No. 4 during the upcoming five-Test series in England starting June 20. Ponting, who coached the Punjab Kings to the IPL 2025 final, believes the added responsibility of leadership could affect Gill's batting, which still requires refinement for the red-ball format. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'His white-ball form has been incredibly good,' Ponting told PTI. 'But he's got a little bit of work to do on his Test match batting. And that's never easy when you're a new captain — to have to worry about your batting to the degree that he's going to have to. It won't be easy for him.' Gill, who started as an opener and moved to No. 3, is expected to inherit Virat Kohli 's vacant No. 4 slot. Ponting sees that as a strategic move that could ease the burden during Gill's early captaincy days. Shubman Gill story: From a remote village near the border to India's Test captain 'If they go with (Yashasvi) Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan as openers, they need someone more experienced at No. 3 — maybe KL Rahul or Karun Nair. That would allow Shubman to bat at four,' Ponting explained. 'Once you grow into it, then you can move yourself back up to No. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo 3.' Despite concerns, Ponting remains confident about Gill's long-term leadership prospects. 'He just seems the sort of guy that the extra responsibility wouldn't faze too much. He's got a really level head on his shoulders. He's someone who's going to be around Indian cricket for another 10 years.' Ponting, one of cricket's finest captains, also dissected Gill's flaws in Test cricket — notably his tendency to play with hard hands and his occasional lapses in focus. India Test squad for England tour: Shubman Gill to lead, Rishabh Pant his deputy 'I think it's more his mental application,' said Ponting. 'There's nothing wrong technically. But sometimes, he might get ahead of himself or a little lazy during an innings. You've got to be 100% committed for every ball, for six or seven hours of the day. That's the challenge for Shubman.' Drawing comparisons with Virender Sehwag, Ponting said, 'Some great Test players didn't have great defensive games. But if you're in control of your strokeplay, that's less of a worry. Defence is important, but mindset matters more.'
