A US man who went missing during a game of American football later told police he walked out because he had had "his fill of football".

Paul Kitterman left his seat at half time during Denver Broncos' NFL match with San Diego Chargers at Sports Authority Field. His stepson reported him missing, and friends and family scoured the stadium and searched Denver for him.

The 53-year-old was found two days later in Pueblo, a town 130 miles away in southern Colorado, and told police he had walked and hitchhiked there.

Police in Pueblo said he looked tired but was otherwise unharmed.
