A Wisconsin man whose foot was injured at a Garth Brooks concert in 2019 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis has received a $1.25 million settlement, part of which will be paid by Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, which oversees the stadium.

While details of the extent of the injury are unclear, the amount of the settlement suggests a significant injury. A large steel hydraulic wedge-shaped barrier was lowered onto the man’s foot. The wedge has large spikes to prevent vehicles from driving into the area.
