What is the worst incident you have witnessed against an opposing fan or yourself at the ballpark?
  • "One very drunk female fan from New Orleans -- a Saints fan -- was standing in one of the concession lines and started trash talking to me -- a true Falcons fan -- since the Falcons were losing. She became extremely rude and obnoxious and then proceeded to spit at me. Lucky for me, her nasty spit only hit my neck and collar area. I immediately located an Atlanta police officer and requested that she be removed from the Dome. The officer confiscated the game tickets of her and her other female friends (total of five of them), then he (along with myself and my friend) escorted the drunk along with her female friends down the ramps and out of the stadium. I was proud to know that the officer took this offense seriously and handled the situation accordingly."
  • "A Packers' fan had his cheese head hat thrown off of the second level."
  • "A drunk guy filled up his cup with urine and threw it all over a Saints fan. The Saints fan was a jerk, but that was a bit much."
What is your favorite memory from a game at the stadium?
  • "Beating San Francisco in the playoffs in 1998 on the way to the Super Bowl."
  • "Matt Ryan's 62-yard pass to Michael Jenkins on the first pass of his NFL career."
  • "Michael Vick's Superman dive on 4th-and-10 versus Carolina."
