Patriots fan dies at Gillette Stadium with son at his side
 

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 18, 2010 3:21 PM ET

The saddest story of Week One of the NFL season happened at Gillette Stadium, where a 40-year-old fan died of a heart attack after a confrontation with a stadium worker over whether his 6-year-old son could step on the field.

The fan, Jeffrey Chartier, was reportedly told by NFL officials before the game that his son, Tedy, could run on the sidelines and take pictures on the field. But witnesses told the Sun Chronicle that a stadium staffer told Chartier that his son couldn't come on the field and was generally "giving him a hard time."

When Chartier's son started crying, Chartier and the stadium worker got into an argument.

"He was saying, 'He's 6 years old. How can you make him cry on opening day when he just had one of the most exciting experiences of his life?'" witness Dwayne Hunter told the Sun Chronicle.

Chartier reportedly collapsed when he got back to his seat and was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Firefighters took care of Tedy until his mother arrived.

NECN.com reports that a memorial fund has been established for Chartier's two children.



Maybe he shouldn't have waited till he was 34 to have a child. šŸ˜‰

Incredibly unfortunate story. I was in my late 20's and seen my mothers lifeless body and it left a helluva impact. I can only imagine being 6 years old and having dad die right next to me. Very traumatic to the say the least.

I don't know if I disagree with disallowing the child to run the sidelines. You can't have 40k kids or how ever many running up and down the field.

I saw one of my siblings (still a tiny baby) lying dead in the bathroom when I was in my early teens. It was many years before I could properly grieve over it. I did my best to suppress it for a long time.

The poor boy will forever remember his Dad died at a football game. That has to impact him. Every time he sees a game, it will remind him of that.
Just so sad.

The Twins let every kid in the stadium that wants to run the bases after each home game. I don't think it would be that detrimental to the field.

dfosterf (3h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .
Zero2Cool (3h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.
dfosterf (3h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes
dfosterf (3h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same
dfosterf (4h) : *Friday*
dfosterf (4h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy
dfosterf (4h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)
dfosterf (4h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
dfosterf (4h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
Zero2Cool (4h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
dfosterf (4h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40
dfosterf (4h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in
packerfanoutwest (4h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
beast (4h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (4h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based
beast (4h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
