Police said Isaac Grubb, a 20-year old Tennessee man, was reportedly celebrating a Volunteers touchdown when he fell 35-feet from the upper level onto another person sitting in the student section below.
Sadly, it was the second fall to death inside a stadium in as many nights. On Thursday, a man was killed after falling five stories from an escalator at a Texans-Vikings NFL game in Houston's Reliant Stadium.
Fans who were near Grubb when he fell said he was sitting in section 311 of the Georgia Dome, behind the endzone. Witnesses said Tennessee scored a touchdown right before he did a fist pump and went over the rail.
The person Grubb landed on was injured and taken to Atlanta Medical Center. So far, authorities said there is no word if alcohol played a factor in the incident.
