The man, Dale Mooney from Newmarket, New Hampshire, was sitting in the 308/309 section when the incident happened. EMTs showed up and rushed the 53-year-old to Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, Massachusetts, where he was pronounced dead just before midnight.
On Monday, a fan came forward and stated he witnessed Mooney and several fans get into a fight during the game.
