“Well the message appeared on the screen and I told her to look at the screen and as soon as I opened the ring box it just popped out,” Fox recalled.
He told Inside Edition: "I just dropped the ring and maybe lost it in front of everyone and I started crying."
As fans sitting around the couple helped out, TV and radio announcers turned their attention from the game to the search for the ring, and a look of extreme anxiety spread across Fox's face.
"I’m trying to open up the ring box and instantly the ring just fell out. We didn't see where it went it happened so quickly. Everyone around us was frantically searching with us,” he said. “We're looking in food boxes, on the ground around us, anything that it could have fallen into.”
