There was news coming out of yesterday’s 49ers debut in Levi’s Stadium even worse than the score.

According to the Associated Press, a fan died after suffering a heart attack during the third quarter.

The Santa Clara Fire Department said the unnamed man received CPR and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Two construction workers also died there during the construction of the massive new stadium last year.
