ATLANTA (AP) — A football fan was not seriously injured when he fell about 25 feet at the Georgia Tech-Miami game.
The man fell over a staircase railing into a service area during the second quarter of Saturday's game. The associate athletic director at Georgia Tech, Wayne Hogan, said the man was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and was released after undergoing a battery of tests. The man's name was not released.
The incident came less than a month after a University of Tennessee football fan fell to his death from the upper deck of the Georgia Dome during the Tennessee-North Carolina State game on Aug. 31.
