The "way you get treated" in Atlanta absolutely doesn't compare to the hostility in Athens.

Miami 2003 in the Orange Bowl.
I think I can say this is the only time I actually feared for my safety. Before the game, straight thugs getting up in my face talking trash. They would step in front of you and would try to stop you from walking around them.
Once in the stadium, it wasn't too bad because I had seats in the vistor's section but there were still Canes around us. Florida jumped up big early by about 3 touchdowns and Miami eventually came back. Chris Leak threw an interception at about the 5 yd line with a 1:30 left and all hell broke loose. I mean brawls in the stands breaking out everywhere. Then on the way out the Orange Bowl had those tiny ramps that were cage like. People still fighting and shoving each other. I went home with blood all over my shirt that night. I'm just glad it wasn't mine.
