Two workers sustained injuries after falling from an upper section of the Dallas Cowboys Stadium roof to a lower portion of the dome on December 3, 2010.
The incident occurred at approximately 7 a.m. The two employees of Birdair of Amherst, N.Y., a subcontractor to Manhattan Construction Co. of Dallas, were preparing to access the high roof of the stadium’s retractable dome to finalize work on the fabric roof seams, slipped on ice and slid down some 250-ft of the main roof to a gutter at the bottom, according to a statement from Manhattan officials. Birdair spokesperson Michelle Roth declined to comment and referred Texas Construction to its general counsel Karen Mathews, who confirmed the iron workers worked for Birdair.
