I feel you. I also have that fear, and one time we went to a local opera house that has very steep balconies. When you are walking down the stairs to your seat, it seriously feels like you can fall to your death if you wobble or trip. I needed my husband holding my hand and his constant reassurance just to make it to our seats. Didn’t get up the whole intermission and then high-tailed it out of there. Never again.
I feel that way in some sports stadiums. Like… I can intellectually recognize that hundreds of thousands of people use these stairs without incident every year. But it does not feel that way in the moment.

Whoops, wrong comment.
