No one wins in this situation but maybe it can be a good reminder for all of us whether if we are walking to our cars after the game...maybe we just take our time and make sure we know what is happening around us. If we are driving from the game, a good reminder to double check looking around for pedestrians and keeping speeds down.

Not that the driver here was speeding, but hopefully others can be just a bit more careful and keep things safe. Rest in peace.

Very sad indeed. I remember the police thread early after the game saying how stupid it was and unnecessary. And even though alcohol wasn't involved with the driver it does give the cops the ammo to step up enforcement. I even said it will only take one pedestrian getting hit or one accident for it to happen, very sad that mt post came true.

Hey guys, I appreciate all the kind works. I am Jonathan Brown's brother in-law. My wife is his sister. I got us tickets for last weekends game and took him and my other brother in-law and his kid. It was a horrible scene. I saw everything happen. We have no idea where that car came from. Go to www.carepages.com/carepages/jonathanbrown and make a username to see his progress over the last week. Our family updated his status a couple times a day. Im so sad to see him go, but we know he's in a better place now.

My prayers are with you and your family.

The driver is a very good friend of mine. He's a member of the military, highly responsible, and an all-around good guy. As police reported, he wasn't speeding, and alcohol wasn't a factor in the accident; neither of those surprised me. He's hurting a lot right now.

It's an all-around tragedy. Hard on everyone involved. My prayers are with him.
