You only saw one fist fight at the cocktail party? I’m assuming you are young.
The 70s were wild. They use to checkerboard the stands with UGA and UF fan areas abutting all around the stadium. Alcohol wasn’t monitored in those days. It was everywhere and the air literally smelled like bourbon.
Fights broke out constantly. The cops would come into the stands, drag the culprits off and a few minutes later return for the next fight.
Checkerboarding was finally done away with and alcohol strictly monitored inside the stadium and on the sidewalks outside. Folks were not just ejected anymore, they were hauled off to the Jax jail. Things calmed down after that.

Speaking of rude fanbases - I've encountered more rude/obnoxious fans from other schools in Tiger Stadium than I have when visiting their actual home stadium (except Florida). Bama and Auburn fans that I've had the pleasure to sit by in Tiger Stadium have regularly been complete a-holes. UGA fans in TS have always been cool.
