Dutch Stadium Roof Collapses, Killing One Person, Injuring 14 More One person was found dead Thursday morning after the roof of a Dutch professional soccer team's stadium partially collapsed during construction, The Associated Press reports.

FC Twente's Grolsch Veste stadium, located in Enschede, Netherlands, has been undergoing offseason construction to add 6,000 seats behind the south-end goal. The seats were being built above already-existing ones when the accident occurred.

Fourteen people were injured — including 10 who had to be hospitalized — in addition to the one fatality, according to Enschede's mayor, Peter den Oudsten.

FC Twente, which has appeared in the last two Dutch national championship games, has been holding its offseason workouts in the province of Zeeland, the report says.
